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.

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 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.
