Wetlands sustain our lives and biodiversity. Conserving them sh’d be the role of each one of us not because we only benefit but because wetlands harbor biodiversity that also have the right to LIVE. Thx to the GoR thru Rwanda Environment Management Authority to restore wetlands heavily degraded in #Rwanda.

I commit to contribute to the conservation of wetlands in Rwanda through research and awareness, providing data that serve the monitoring of wetlands’ health through #amphibian research. #Frogs are important indicators for the changes in wetland’s’ health.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay2023 Beth! With the Rwanda Biodiversity Information System being developed Center of Excellence in Biodiversity & NRM - we are committed to avail data to support the assessment and monitoring of wetlands health in #Rwanda.

Biodiversity data is key! We have mobilized hundred thousands of occurrence records, around 20+ spatial layers and working currently on physico-chemical and meteorological data to avail data needed to support policy and conservation strategies for Rwanda.

The Rwanda biodiversity information system (RBIS) is able to inform about the status of an aquatic system based on #bioinficator data. A presentation during the Strategic Adaptive Management workshop for rivers and wetlands mgt in Rwanda.

The use of biological indicators to monitor freshwater ecosystems in Rwanda- how the RBIS can be used as a tool to provide these data. Presentation by Mapendo MINDJE (Frogman of Rwanda) 🇷🇼 🐸 during the Strategic Adaptation Management workshop on freshwater ecosystems management.

Biodiversity data management in #Rwanda @CoEB - the current emphasis includes the digitization of butterflies and ants of Rwanda. The system will be able to produce species location maps and associated spatial layers.
