New Partnerships Launch Conservation Projects for China's Coastal Wetlands

The Paulson Institute announced the launch of three inaugural wetlands projects as part of the Institute’s Conservation program. These three pilot projects, established in partnership with the Lao Niu Foundation, utilize our unique think-and-do approach in order to drive measurable and lasting environmental change. Two of the projects focus on developing a national strategy for coastal wetland conservation and honing best practices for the management of the coastal wetlands. The third project will focus on implementing advanced conservation approaches and piloting adaptive management procedures for the water and fishery resources in the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve.
Outcomes: 
The Paulson Institute’s Conservation program focuses on preservation of natural resources in China. China’s coastal wetlands are life-supporting habitats that sustain irreplaceable biodiversity, including millions of migratory water birds, along with many unique plant and animal species.
