International Wetland Globes 15 June 2010 | Event The World
Wetland Network recently 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 the
wetland itself – representatives connected to the wetland will
receive the award. 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. World Wetland Network will deliver these three awards
for each continent at the Convention on Biological Diversity
Conference in October 2010, and then at the Ramsar Conference in
2012. To register and vote, please visit the World Wetland
Network Awards.
