Waterbirds are one of the key indicators of wetlands health. Wetlands provide feeding, resting, roosting and foraging habitats for these charismatic species. We work with a number of volunteers to assess the status of population of waterbirds over time. The information so generated is used to identify wetlands of high importance for waterbirds, and take conservation measures such as designation as Ramsar Sites and Flyway Network Sites, or inclusion as priority wetlands within theni districts

Objetices :

raising awareness of waterbirds and waterbird conservation issues;
supporting local conservation activities at wetlands;
the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, in identifying and monitoring wetlands of international importance;
