Water management in the Asia-Pacific region
The livelihoods of many of the people in Australia's region depend on their continued access to the natural environment.
We aim to support and strengthen communities, civil society organisations and governments to protect and manage their natural resources. Our work focuses on complementing local knowledge with expert advice, where necessary, for scientific research, conservation management and conservation planning.
WWF-Australia supports WWF offices in the South Pacific, Indonesia and other countries in south-east Asia by helping to secure funding, providing technical or strategic advice, monitoring on-ground activities and undertaking project analysis.
Snapshot of our activities
- Tri Nations Wetlands Initiative - we were instrumental in establishing the commitment by Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to collaboratively manage around three million hectares of tropical wetlands identified as global priorities - Kakadu, Wasur and Tonda National Parks.
