Wetlands International Annual Review 2005 shows clearly the successful development of Wetlands International in 2005; with more than 100 projects and publications described. A clear illustration is the brief description of all our projects and publication in 2005. The annual review contains also more extended articles about our achievement in 2005 regarding wetland biodiversity, water management, livelihood and the more scientific knowledgebase. In 2005, we also started a major project in Africa and South East Asia to highlight the potential for wetland conservation and wise use to contribute to improving livelihoods in some of the world’s poorest regions. Moreover, soon after the disastrous tsunami in Asia, Wetlands International began the management of the ‘Green Coast’ partnership project in five affected countries.

The Wetlands International Annual Review 2003 shows the project highlights of our Species, Inventory, Wise Use and Capacity Building programmes over the past year. It includes a "spotlight" on the cross-cutting African/Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Flyway Project that was approved last year and will start implementation in 2005. Throughout 2003 we continued our efforts to develop and implement globally applicable standards and procedures. The completion of the revised legal structure in The Netherlands was a major outcome and provides a platform for legal links to all Wetlands International’s offices. Furthermore, the Board of Directors met twice in 2003, working largely through a committee structure and is reviewing its own progress and operations. The annual review also features the recent highly successful Waterbirds Around the World conference, held in Edinburgh in April 2004.
