Our work
Our work centres on four key impact areas: free-flowing rivers, community engagement, biocultural corridors and promoting agroecology.
Through these impact areas we build a resilient future for nature and people. Amongst other things, we’ve already installed monitoring systems for 31 rivers, trained hundreds of farmers in agroecological methods, started to work on more than 10 biocultural corridors and organised more than 50 campaigns to raise awareness about and engage communities in the restoration and protection of the La Plata Basin.
Impact areas of the Wetlands without Borders initiative
Advocating for free flowing rivers
Protecting the health and free flow of rivers is crucial for the survival of the La Plata Basin ecosystem and the people who depend on it. With a monitoring system for 31 rivers in the Brazilian stretch of the Paraguay river system, we are working to preserve the...
Enhancing community engagement
Together with communities along the La Plata Basin’s rivers, the Wetlands without Borders network is organising and mobilising people to protect the region’s delicate ecosystem. Through local and national campaigns, we are increasing public awareness of both the value...
Promoting agroecology
The Wetlands without Borders network is expanding agroecology throughout the La Plata Basin. Thanks to our work, hundreds of farms and gardens are successfully using agroecological practices. Our special La Plata Basin Agroecological Seal of Identity helps farmers...
Biocultural corridors
The La Plata Basin was once comprised of interconnected ecosystems – jungles, savannahs, grasslands and wetlands – joined together via the water. Today, the region’s intact natural and cultural habitats are mainly found in fragmented protected areas and indigenous...
