Tools to sustain wetland
restoration efforts in
the Mediterranean
Wetlands are the most productive ecosystems in the world, providing essential ecosystem services both for people and nature. In particular, they are crucial for climate change adaptation and mitigation. But their loss and degradation are three times faster than forests, and in the Mediterranean Basin, one of the major global biodiversity and climate change hotspots, wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate. Since 1970, 50% of Mediterranean wetlands have disappeared.
Conserving the remaining wetlands is therefore no longer sufficient. Urgent actions to restore Mediterranean wetlands by all concerned stakeholders at the local, national and international levels are now required to reverse this trend.
The ‘Wetland-Based Solution’ has developed this tool to support and upgrade wetland restoration in the Mediterranean.
