โWhen we say wetlands protect ecosystems, itโs not a slogan โ itโs a fact.โ
Wetlands are more than landscapes โ they are living systems that breathe, shelter, feed, and protect. This is the heart of the Convention on Wetlandsโ mission.
As evidenced in the Global Wetlands Outlook 2025 Report natural wetlands make large contributions to the well-being of human society, and that the loss of wetlands results in a loss of those contributions.
Nowhere is this clearer than in Romaniaโs Danube Delta, a breath-taking expanse of biodiversity where over 5,000 species thrive. But beneath its beauty lies a history of transformation: large wetland areas reshaped into farmland through past agricultural systematisation.
Dive into a story of resilience, restoration, and the living pulse of Europeโs second largest delta. This documentary feature โWhere Waters Breatheโ invites you to witness the Deltaโs story โ its fragility, its strength, and its fight to remain one of the worldโs most extraordinary wetland ecosystems.
