We are dedicated to saving the world’s peatlands; they globally store at least 550 Gigatonnes of carbon and are home to many threatened species.
We restore mangrove forests and introduce sustainable shrimp farming in coastal areas, which have suffered degradation. We convince governments and businesses to join us.
We protect and monitor millions of waterbirds that depend on a chain of healthy wetlands for their migration routes every year.
We address the fierce and unfair competition for freely accessible water in streams, lakes and marshes.
