Wetlands contribute to the livelihoods of millions of people but are threatened due to population pressure, unsustainable agriculture, exploitation of resources and upstream diversions of water. IWMI works to increase knowledge on the global extent of wetlands, the natural services they provide and how they can be used sustainably to reduce poverty in local communities.
