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 having negative impacts on wildlife.
UNEP-WCMC has produced a global assessment of areas
of special importance for freshwater
biodiversity. Our information goes towards helping to improve
planning and management on a global and regional scale.
