Wonders of Wetlands
Wonders Of Wetlands initiative focuses on enabling children in building a deep emotional connection with their urban wetlands. To provide children with experiences for them to understand the educational, recreational, and spiritual importance of our urban wetlands.
Our initiatives focus on connecting children with nature and raising their awareness of urban wetland values and sustainable lifestyles through an array of activities built around communication, education, participation, and capacity building.
The project activities will include wetlands trails and awareness programs for popularizing bird watching at the wetlands, increasing awareness through media, celebrating wetland conservation-related commemorations days, wetland based nature days, art and craft activities, establishing site support groups at the wetland sites, and developing a web-based information portal for children to get to know and connect with their wetlands better.
The programs will empower and inspire urban children of Colombo to understand how urban wetlands are an incredibly important resource for wildlife, their cities, and for them as the community hence making them advocates of wetland protection and conservation.
