Wetlandsforum.net is an initiative to build an African community of practice for wetlands scientists and managers seeking to explore new perspectives for better wetland management in the face of human needs for development, food and water security.

Our World Wetlands Day 2016 feature took a closer look at the fight to protect the wetlands surrounding of Zimbabwe's capital city. A natural bounty that has secured the city's freshwater supply for centuries, Harare's wetlands are increasingly under threat by construction and over-abstraction in an entirely man-made water crisis.

Wetlandsforum.net is a neutral space for all wetlands scientists and managers seeking to improve the management of Africa’s wetlands. The network is a virtual space to discuss ideas, exchange information and share experiences. Get involved, Join us as we build the network, foster new partnerships and engage in real-life workshops and meetings.
