CITES ensures that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of the species.
Wetlands sustain biodiversity and provide critical corridors for the movement of species, connecting habitats accros regions.

Conserving wetlands and conserving wildlife are interdependent goals.
If we continue to lose them at today’s pace, we risk ecological collapse but if we restore them, we unlock immense benefits for both the planet and people.

🏞️ Wetlands are more than just ecosystems, they are sanctuaries of life.
🐟 They harbour countless species, many found nowhere else on Earth, and they serve humanity in profound ways.

🌊 Wetlands regulate the planet’s hydrological rhythm, storing & releasing water in ways that sustain ecosystems. To meet global climate goals, wetlands must move from the margins of discussion to the centre of action.

The climate crisis is not a problem for someone else to solve in the future. It's a present issue that affects us all.
💚 That's why it's important to act now. Delaying action on reducing emissions means more human suffering, environmental degradation & economic losses. #COP30

Migratory waterbirds are vital for wetlands and other ecosystems. As an important part of biodiversity, migratory waterbirds play essential roles in the wetlands and aquatic ecosystems through which they pass.

🕊️ Many migratory birds rely heavily on wetlands as essential stopover points during their travels along established migration routes known as flyways.
🌊 These migration corridors connect critical habitats across continents, and wetlands provide the perfect environment for birds to rest. #MOP12

🌿 Wetlands are some of the most threatened habitats in the world, yet also the most vital for wildlife and people.
💧 They’re areas of land that are either permanently or seasonally inundated with water, supporting species that are adapted to live there.

Caring for nature is also caring for our community! Globally, women make up close to 40% of the agricultural labour force. Empowering women and closing gender gaps enhances the wellbeing of women and their households. This is a critical pathway towards gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Wetlands offer some of the best natural solutions to modern crises.
They can clean water by filtering pollutants, displace floodwater, shelter wildlife, improve our mental and physical wellbeing & capture climate-changing amounts of carbon.
We need wetlands now more than ever!
