Wetlands, of all ecosystems, are arguably under most significant threat, and where degradation is estimated at 85% (IPBES, 2000). One of the most important ways to address degradation is to ensure highly-developed and functioning systems and projects at the local level, all of which rely on strong capacities. The Ramsar Regional Centre-East Asia and its partners are looking at this crucial element, ensuring consistent delivery of training support, building of a pool of experts, and resource mobilization, among other interventions.
