Global Citizen Wetland Watch - citizen science for wetlands

The Global Citizen Wetland Watch aims to work with local stakeholders who are closely associated with wetlands to provide a global overview of the status and trends of wetlands, using a variety of means from online surveys, social media and global hashtag analysis. This session will outline the results of the first round of the survey, explain how the second round has developed, and encourage participants to use the survey to share their knowledge of local wetlands that they know. We would like your help to build the audience that will use it, suggest improvements for future rounds of the survey, and give us ideas on how the results can be used for practical conservation outcomes for wetlands.
