Users of the #SWOS products from France, Hungary, Tanzania and Greece sharing their experience of using the data to influence local stakeholders and to improve their own wetland management

#SWOS has developed tools, services, mapping products and indicators for #wetland ecosystems #mapping, #monitoring and #assessment, to support national reporting for EU and global environmental policies! ΕΚΒΥ is proud to be part of that great SWOS project team!

Wetlands have a crucial role in combating climate change says Anne Teller as she discusses how SWOS' work relates to European and International policy frameworks European Commission #wetlands

ETC-UMA director Dania Abdul Malak starts presenting SWOS's key recommendations: 1) Consider eco-hydrological boundaries of wetland ecosystems for their conservation & restoration

Discussion with Convention on Wetlands , @IUCNBrussels & Wetlands International Europe about recommendation n° 2) Harmonisation needed on widely used ecosystem based wetland definitions for better management & conservation

And so the conference ends but as Kathrin Weise said in her closing remarks, this does not mark the end of SWOS! On behalf of all involved we would like to thank you for your contributions to the conference and to the project as a whole #wetlands Convention on Wetlands European Commission

Based on evidence from the Global Wetland Outlook, conservation action has failed wetland biodiversity. From #RamsarCOP13 to #EGYPTCOP14, #PartnersforWetlands call to embed wetland conservation in the post-2020 biodiversity & SDG agendas: bit.ly/2qAWsrP #WeValueWetlands
