WLI Asia-Oceania

Wetland Link International (WLI) is a global network for wetland education centers that deliver engagement activities on site. The network defines a wetland education centre as, ‘any wetland where there is interaction between people and wildlife and CEPA (communications, capacity building, education, participation and public awareness) activity occurs in support of wetland conservation aims’. It is led by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, UK, and has 350 members over 6 continents. 

• WLI objectives include: to improve the effectiveness of operations at wetland education centers through sharing, training and expertise exchange
• to lobby for the greater inclusion of CEPA programmes within wetlands and related conservation initiatives and instruments, and to support the development of frameworks for subsequent implementation at national, regional and global levels
• to advocate for, and assist in, the development of new wetland education centers and their associated programmes throughout the world
