Dear Visitor,
We are currently working on finalizing the work plans for 2011.
A
video ("Local Capacity Building for Sustainable Wetland Management")
produced by CORIN-Asia is now available at youtube. The video is
part of Wetlands Alliance's Local Partners' activity to share good
practices and lessons learned towards sustainable management of a
national park. You can find out more about it here.
Apart
from this newsletter and our website, we also regularly update our
Facebook Page regarding news, events and interesting articles related to
the work of the Wetlands Alliance. If you already are a member of facebook, but did not join it yet, you can do so from here!
I wish you all a pleasant month ahead!
Best Regards,
Hans Guttman

options and new approaches and emerging strategies that create
conditions for private capital to supplement or even replace
conventional development assistance.
