DESCRIPTION

The Wetlands Contract is a voluntary governance tool, an innovative methodology for water and wetlands management. Based on the active participation of local stakeholders, its aim is to improve coordination and stimulate the effectiveness of the management and planning of protected wetlands in the Mediterranean. It consists of a series of shared, specific, and detailed commitments and actions. The Wetland Contracts take into account the problems and needs of the people, plants, and animals that live in, or benefit from, wetlands, permanently or temporarily. Its objective is to ensure proper governance to protect wetlands and their surroundings.

This tool has been developed and/or tested under the WETNET project and has been incorporated into the MBPC/ENSERES Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Tools Catalogue
