Vote for wetlands!

16 July 2010. The World Wetland Network have launched the International Wetland Globes, an awards scheme to recognise best practice and wetland restoration, and to highlight wetlands in danger.

The Wetland Globes are non-financial awards, and will be given to wetlands themselves. The awards are divided into three categories: blue recognises best practice in wetland management; green for successful restoration of a degraded wetland; and grey highlights wetlands that are being actively degraded or neglected.

The World Wetland Network will deliver these three awards for each continent at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in October 2010, and again at the Ramsar Conference in 2012.
