Wetland Conservation

In this installment of the Living Mountain Lab (previously known as “Knowledge Park”) video series, we explore the importance and benefits of wetland conservation.
The Hindukush-Himalaya region, often referred to as the "Third Pole," is home to vast wetland ecosystems, vital for regional and global biodiversity, freshwater supply, carbon sequestration, and climate regulation. Wetland conservation in this region is pivotal in maintaining the health and resilience of the entire hydrological system, upon which millions depend for sustenance and livelihood. Conservation efforts help to preserve unique flora and fauna, mitigate climate change impacts, foster sustainable development, and secure the well-being of communities that inhabit these areas.
