What we achieve
The project is engaged to promote knowledge exchange across the Mediterranean region for greater success. To facilitates the exchange of knowledge and best practices, the project organizes training sessions and workshops, which build the capacity of local practitioners, decision-makers, and community members to implement and support wetland conservation efforts. This collaborative learning approach ensures that valuable insights and effective strategies are shared and replicated across the region.
5 keys 5 sites
With this project, we hope to advance by:
- Updating and improving knowledge and information on wetland status and their services for climate change adaptation and mitigation;
- Promoting and updating current tools, networks, and collaborations;
- Capitalizing on the knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned;
- Tailoring research work and findings to new and upcoming policies.
- Provide a fresh, approachable communication strategy to spread the word about wetland’s restoration and conservation as a countermeasure to the consequences of climate change.
With 5 pilot sites, we focus on implementing and demonstrating wetland-based solutions to improve carbon sequestration and flood regulation in the the transboundary case of the Struma/Strymon catchment of Bulgaria and Greece, as well as in other seperate wetlands in Oristano-Italy, in Albufera-Spain and in Camargue-France.
By developing and promoting sustainable wetland management practices, the project aims to provide models that can be adopted by local communities and stakeholders and increase their awareness about the importance of wetlands and the benefits of nature-based solutions. Engaging various stakeholders, including local communities, authorities, schools, and institutions, through events, recreational activities, and educational programs helps to establish a deeper connection with wetlands and promotes community involvement in conservation efforts.
