Wetlands Discussion

In honor of World Wetlands Day, February 2nd, we're hosting a discussion on the reconciliation of wetland conservation and agriculture.

According to The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, also known as the Ramsar Convention, Africa is home to nearly 200 wetlands that have been designated of international importance.

It's important to note the role that wetlands play in rural Africa -and how harsh agriculture practices threaten Africa’s wetlands and critical food sources. 

How can wetlands conservation efforts and sustainable agricultural development in rural Africa coexist?
