Conservation of high-altitude wetlands: Experiences of the WWF network

Conservation of high altitude wetlands and lakes in the Himalayas poses an immense challenge to the world. Recent projections on climate change and its impacts on glaciers compound the problem.  The WWF High-Altitude Wetlands and Lakes Project is working to met this challenge in three ways:1) Site-specific work in India, Nepal, Pakistan and China;2)  Partnerships for scaling up the work;3) A regional forum for transboundary cooperation involving governments and partners.
