Vote for the Wetland Globe Awards!  Deadline 9/30/10.

 

The World Wetland <http://www.worldwetnet.org/>  Network (WWN) is currently
accepting nominations for the first Wetland Globe Awards, recognizing the
best and worst cases of management of internationally-important wetlands
from the perspective of non profit organizations (or NGOs).  The voting
deadline is September 30th. Cast your vote today to recognize a wetland of
international importance that is important to you!

 

WWN is an international collaboration founded to help wetland NGO's engage
more fully in international wetland conservation efforts, to recognize and
support their role, and to raise awareness of international wetland threats.
WWN is made up of grassroots wetland organizations and has no allegiance to
any countries or international quasi-governmental bodies. The Awards Program
provide the means to both share and recognize best practices, as well as
highlight wetlands and related issues of concern.  Awards will be presented
to wetlands in five regions of the globe for each of the three awards listed
below based on votes by individuals representing wetland-related NGOs from
around the world.

 

Award categories: 

Blue Globe: Best practice in wetland management

Green Globe: Best wetland restoration/creation projects

Grey Globe: Wetlands under threat or being mismanaged (e.g., degradation of
wetland due to development; loss of wetland due to pollution (e.g. oil
spills, water pollution, etc.); degradation due to agriculture/abstraction;
active exclusion of local communities from wetland protection.)
