Wetland Atlas
The Wetland Atlas brings together biophysical, socio-economic, and policy data into a single, accessible system, helping to close critical data gaps that currently limit effective action and financing for wetlands. With a focus on the Sahel region - where wetlands provide crucial support for community livelihoods amidst the challenges of climate change and conflict - this platform is aimed at informing decision-making for investors, policymakers, and organizations working to protect and restore these critical ecosystems worldwide.
The Wetland Atlas is a powerful tool for highlighting the urgent need to protect and restore wetlands. By making data on wetlands’ climate mitigation potential, biodiversity, and socio-economic value easily accessible, the platform can drive policy, investment, and community action, addressing the critical loss of these ecosystems and the consequences of their degradation.
Bridging Fragmented Data:
The platform integrates critical data on wetlands' climate mitigation potential, biodiversity, and socio-economic value, making it easy for users to understand their importance.
Making Conservation Tangible:
By sharing success stories of wetland conservation projects, the platform demonstrates what’s possible and inspires action by highlighting successful stories & strategies.
Empowering Climate Action:
By filling information gaps, The Wetland Atlas makes it easy to direct investments and policy interventions into wetland protection and restoration for maximum benefit.
Our collaboration with Wetlands International involved integrating their in-depth knowledge of wetlands with our technical expertise, ensuring that the platform reflects the latest research and best practices in wetland conservation. By delivering a user-friendly and informative platform, we aimed to empower users to take action, whether through supporting projects, influencing policy, or simply sharing the importance of wetlands with others.
