#WetlandsWednesday🌿
We are in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, today, joining representatives from Tanzania and Uganda in a critical meeting to finalise the process of designating the Minziro landscape as a Ramsar Site.

@RamsarConv recognises wetlands of international importance for their ecological significance, particularly their role in supporting waterbirds, conserving biodiversity and providing essential ecosystem services.

Minziro meets this significance on several fronts: it supports migratory bird species, acts as a carbon sink, sustains community livelihoods through agriculture and eco-tourism, and forms part of a transboundary wetland landscape shared with Uganda's Sango Bay.

Over the past three decades, communities have noted dramatic changes around Minziro, driven by deforestation, agricultural encroachment and climate change. This threatens biodiversity and livelihoods that depend on the wetland.

NBI through @NelsapCu has been coordinating the designation process with support from @GIZAfricanUnion and @WetlandsIntEA
