Working together to restore Europe’s GBNs
Wetlands face many challenges, such as fragmented ownership, inconsistent governance and shrinking funding. These issues span borders and require solutions that do the same. That’s why Wetlanders connects partners from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland, creating a platform for shared expertise on an entirely new scale. Led by the Belgian NGO Natuurpunt, the consortium combines the strengths of research institutes, public authorities, and land managers.
