Local Action for Biodiversity: Wetlands South Africa

The LAB: Wetland SA is being implemented by the ICLEI’s Cities Biodiversity Center, which is coordinated by the ICLEI Africa Secretariat. Through enhanced awareness of wetlands, and the integration of wetlands and biodiversity considerations into local government planning and decision-making, the project will build the capacity of 11 municipalities to prioritise and effectively manage wetlands and biodiversity at the local level. The project will focus on government departments and working with community stakeholders to increase awareness and community buy-in.
