Freshwater
Freshwater
is absolutely essential for human survival. As well as being one of
the planet’s most valuable natural resources, freshwater is also its
most vulnerable. The demand is becoming increasingly hard to supply
without damaging the habitats of species.
UNEP-WCMC
has produced a global assessment of areas of special importance for
freshwater biodiversity.
Our information goes towards helping improve planning and management
on a global and regional scale.
