Wetlanders

Across North‑West Europe, green‑blue networks (GBNs) are disappearing at an alarming pace. Some regions have already lost more than 90% of their wetlands, while others are facing extensive peatland degradation. These are the ecosystems that filter water, store carbon and sustain biodiversity, yet they are shrinking faster than we currently can protect them.

Wetlanders, a project co-funded by the Interreg North-West Europe programme, brings together 14 organisations from 5 countries to reverse this trend, through shared tools, hands-on restoration and the local partnerships needed to support long‑term stewardship.
