A hugely diverse continent, Africa includes the Mediterranean countries of the north, characterised by hot conditions and with fertile areas near the cost, neighbouring the desert areas of the Sahara. East Africa has high concentrations of wetlands, many of which are Ramsar sites and mangrove areas, whilst West Africa has drier conditions and fewer sites.
Central Africa has more tropical conditions, and the huge wetlands of the Rift Valley, descending to Southern Africa with a more temperate climate. Communication between wetland NGOs is made more difficult by the difference languages spoken (French, English, Portuguese etc) and by the relatively poor IT resources at their disposal.
WWN Africa is working with partners in NGOs across the continent to create a plan for WWN. Contact Maximin Djondo, BEES, Benin, the Africa representative for WWN.
