As the world rallies behind the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, collaborative efforts are underway to safeguard and rehabilitate some of Africa’s most critical transboundary wetland habitats. “Wetlands are the lifeblood of biodiversity. They play a crucial role in supporting ecosystems, mitigating climate change, and are critical for migratory waterbirds – as resting, refuelling, breeding, nesting and feeding grounds,” says Jacques Trouvilliez, Executive Secretary of the African Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA).
