[Convention on Wetlands @RamsarConv]

“When we say wetlands protect ecosystems, it’s not a slogan — it’s a fact.”
Wetlands are more than landscapes — they are living systems that breathe, shelter, feed, and protect. This is the heart of the Convention on Wetlands’ 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 Romania’s 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 Europe’s second largest delta. This documentary feature “Where Waters Breathe” invites you to witness the Delta’s story — its fragility, its strength, and its fight to remain one of the world’s most extraordinary wetland ecosystems.

📘 Policy Brief 9 + a global meta-analysis show that coastal wetland💧🌿 restoration rebuilds carbon stocks, with no consistent GHG penalty across studies.

⚠️ Evidence gaps remain, especially in EU 🇪🇺 → better monitoring & harmonised MRV needed.
