Our Approach

In seeking to support the sustainable management and use of wetlands, Wetland Action recognises that wetland management must create positive environmental and development outcomes. Wetland Action believes that this can only be achieved and understood through adopting an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to field implementation, management and research. A range of themes and actions underpin our approach:

 

• Awareness raising
• Food security
• Poverty reduction
• Functional landscape approach
• Sustainable and multiple use
• Local institutional capacity building
• Participatory action research
• Gender
• Integrated socio-ecological systems approach
• Networking
• Water and health
