Annual Review 2006

The annual Review 2006 of Wetlands International presents our achievements, more than 100 projects worldwide and dozens of new publications. The establishment of Wetlands International offices as legal entities in Malaysia, South Asia and South America in 2006 was an important step in reinforcing our worldwide legal structure. We also witnessed growth in the portfolios and influence of some of our smaller offices, including Argentina, Mali, India and China. Our office in Dakar, Senegal, began to play a significant role in coordinating implementation of major projects and policy initiatives across Africa, such as the Wetlands and Poverty Reduction and the Wings over Wetlands flyway projects. Our outreach and presence in Africa increased significantly during 2006 as we developed collaborative working relationships with many partner organisations, including development and aid agencies.
