Wetlands International, Malaysia

Wetlands International, Malaysia Wetlands International globally, regionally and nationally to achieve the conservation and wise-use of wetlands, as a contribution to sustainable development.

* We explore all kind activities to conserve wetland species with a focus on waterbirds and fish. Thousands of volunteers monitor millions of waterbirds annually. We collate and analyse this information to provide overviews of population trends and guidance for site designation to governments and wetland managers.

* We work on the conservation of networks of sites that support migrator

y waterbirds (flyways), by checking their condition through regular moitoring programmes, raising awareness among the people living around these wetlands about their values and by enabling stakeholders and governments to conserve and manage them.

* We also help people to conserve and restore wetlands for the services they provide - such as drinking water, fish, reeds for building material etc. We advise local organisations how to use their wetlands in a sustainable way and enable them to take action themselves. We inform their governments about the importance of wetlands for biodiversity and people and about ways to ensure their wise use.

* We carry out research to elucidate and quantify the role of wetlands in water management. For example wetlands can play a role in water purification and in mitigating floods and droughts. We advise governments on how to integrate wetland management into water resource management programmes at the catchment or basin scale.

Lahan gambut bukan hanya tanah basah biasa. Ekosistem ini menyimpan cadangan karbon dalam jumlah besar sekaligus menjadi rumah bagi berbagai satwa langka, termasuk orangutan dan beragam spesies yang kini terancam punah.

Sayangnya, hutan gambut terus menghadapi ancaman akibat pembalakan, kebakaran, dan alih fungsi lahan. Ketika gambut rusak, karbon yang tersimpan selama ribuan tahun dilepaskan ke atmosfer sebagai emisi COâ‚‚, mempercepat perubahan iklim dan menghancurkan habitat satwa liar.

Menjaga lahan gambut berarti melindungi keanekaragaman hayati, mengurangi dampak perubahan iklim, dan menjaga masa depan bumi.

Selamat Hari Gambut Sedunia (2 Juni 2026)!

Efforts are underway to explore how the Rights of Wetlands can be put into practice by communities and governments across the world, guided by the idea that wetlands are not just resources to be used and exploited, but living systems with the right to exist, regenerate, and thrive.

Wetlands International is currently taking part in the Convention on Wetlands Standing Committee 67 where we’ll highlight and seek to build support for the Rights of Wetlands, as a contribution to transformative change.
