The Importance of Wetlands

Wetlands are among the most productive and threatened ecosystems on Earth, yet decisions about their future are often constrained by incomplete data and an information mismatch.

The Wetland Atlas

The Wetland Atlas bridges diverse data sources and tells compelling stories to highlight the value of wetlands, making it easier to target investments,guide policy advocacy, and build stronger collaborations across sectors and regions.

Built on open-access principles, it brings scattered data together into one easy-to-use platform, showing where wetlands are, why they are important, and where conservation and restoration efforts can have the greatest impact.
