Strategic action plan on integrated water resources management, biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture in the Southern Bug River basin

The Strategic Action Plan (SAP) was developed in the frame of the Wetlands International Black Sea Programme’s project «Towards integrating wetland biodiversity conservation with water and agricultural management in Ukraine. A pilot project in the Southern Bug River Basin». The draft SAP was discussed at 4 regional workshops and 15 roundtables in different settlements located in the Southern Bug River Basin during a public information and educational campaign in 2008—2010. The final version of the SAP was approved by participants of the Basin Conference on 14 May 2010.

Warta Konservasi Lahan Basah Edisi 1 Februari 2011

Tema Hari Lahan Basah tahun 2011 ini adalah “Forests for Water dan Wetlands”. Sarat makna dan pesan

yang terkandung dalam tema tersebut. Lahan basah, hutan dan air adalah tiga komponen sumberdaya

alam yang terangkum dalam satu kesatuan ekosistem utuh, sehingga pemanfaatan dan pengelolaannya

haruslah terpadu dan utuh pula. Hutan khususnya hutan lahan basah tentu tidaklah akan tumbuh baik bila

habitat lahan basahnya tercemar dan terdegradasi, begitu sebaliknya lahan basah menjadi terancam bila

tegakan hutan di atasnya rusak atau hilang.

Wetlands International Annual Plan and Budget 2011

This plan sets out Wetlands International’ s priorities for the coming year and translates the Strategic Intent into concrete activities and linked results we aim to achieve by the end of the year. The Strategic Intent has a ‘rolling’ character which means that it is reviewed and consequently updated every 5 years, refreshing the 10-year outlook in the middle of its lifespan. A strategy review is currently in progress while the plan for 2011 is being developed. The emergent thinking coming out of this review is, where possible, already incorporated in the annual plan.
