Summary
Zambia and Zimbabwe’s wetlands are globally iconic, and nationally indispensable for birds and biodiversity, climate regulation and supporting livelihoods, yet face major challenges in their conservation and management. This project will build capacity for civil society in Zimbabwe and Zambia to apply science and monitoring tools to influence and harness national policy processes, particularly National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans, leading up to the Ramsar Convention COP15 in Victoria Falls, to mainstream wetland conservation effectively across sectoral policies and practices.
