The Annual Review 2008 charts the main achievements, as well as projects, finance and publications of Wetlands International during 2008. Furthermore, it highlights our work in relation to climate change adaptation and on incentive mechanisms for community-based wetland management.
Description:
The review over the past year demonstrates the growing relevance and impact of our work worldwide. We have been able to realise some significant gains for wetland conservation and restoration, for example for peatlands under threat in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, Ruoergai, China and Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
Together with many local communities we have restored degraded coastal wetlands in West Africa and Southeast Asia. We have worked with many partners and networks to achieve significant positive gains for wetlands through improved international biofuel standards and climate change policies.
Dedication and skill
These achievements are a testament to the dedication and skill and teamwork of many staff in offices around the world; as well as to the support of a growing number of global and local partner organisations, members, donors and volunteers.
