Academy for wetland restoration
Webinar series on wetland restoration
This series of webinars is focused on “wetland restoration”, including criteria for prioritizing and planning of interventions, monitoring and case studies. The series is divided into 4 webinars, with the involvement of 13 international experts involved through freely accessible recorded speeches.
The goal of this webinar series is to increase the know-how and the willingness to promote wetlands conservation and restoration in the context of a green economy by providing professionals and personnel of public bodies dealing with wetland restoration/conservation projects, and wetland managers from priority restoration sites around the Mediterranean region with current knowledge and real examples of hands-on best practices.
