Despite recognition that wetlands deliver multiple benefits, particularly for the poor and marginalized, widespread wetland loss and deterioration continues contributing to climate destabilisation and biodiversity declines. New approaches are required for wetland conservation and to sustain wetland benefits. This project will facilitate the operationalisation of the Rights of Wetlands approach in different country contexts, embedding the right for a wetland to function and exist through community management, legal instruments and governance frameworks leading to successful biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation.
