Mangroves, mudflats, saltmarshes and sea grasses in deltas and along the coast provide millions of people with a vital source of income and protect them from the ravages of storms and floods. We work towards resilient coastal landscapes and the protection of their unique biodiversity.

Our public and private donors, which include government and multilateral institutions, private foundations and corporates, finance projects, usually with a specific geographic and thematic focus and deliverables that contribute to our mission.

We work in partnership with many different partners, including NGOs, private sector parties, and governments. We are also official partners of several global intergovernmental conventions. We are a reviewer of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPPC, and we are an official International Organization Partner of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

Wetlands are as vital to the planet as rainforests. That is why we are dedicated to their conservation and restoration. We do this by understanding and tackling the underlying causes of wetland loss and damage. Our knowledge-base and advocacy enables action to safeguard and restore wetlands, and to use them in sustainable ways. Read more...
