Pakistan Wetlands

Pakistan Wetlands Programme

The Pakistan Wetlands Programme promotes the sustainable conservation of freshwater and marine wetlands and their associated globally important biodiversity in Pakistan. Its strategy is based on two subsets of objectives. The first will provide the required policy, institutional, technical, and financial framework and generate positive public support essential for the mainstreaming of wetlands conservation. The second involves the design and implementation of sustainable, participatory management plans for four independent demonstration sites, each chosen to represent a broad ecoregion in Pakistan. It includes specific mechanisms to secure financial sustainability and enhanced replication and proliferation of viable wetlands management interventions in a nationwide, ongoing wetlands conservation initiative.
