Reasons to participate
Wetlands International’s livelihoods projects try to prove that nature conservation and development efforts reinforce each other – they actually need each other in order to succeed. We want to share our lessons learned as well as our good and less successful practices with others. We also want to learn from others by participating in this network about their approaches, partners and solutions.
