About Wetlands International – European Association
Established in September 2013, Wetlands International – European Association (Wetlands International Europe) is the single network organisation in Europe bringing together 11 NGOs whose shared mission is to inspire and mobilise society to safeguard and restore wetlands for people and nature.

LIFE AWOM project
The project “Aquatic Warblers on the Move” or LIFE AWOM is a five-year project funded by the EU’s LIFE Nature Standard Action Programme. It starts in January 2025. The project includes 14 partners in Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, and Senegal and is coordinated by Wetlands International Europe.
The LIFE AWOM project is the first multi-country LIFE project focusing on the staging and wintering areas of the globally threatened aquatic warbler Acrocephalus paludicola. Together with the LIFE4AquaticWarbler project, which focuses on the breeding grounds and was submitted to the 2023 LIFE Nature SAP call, the two projects are the biggest coordinated initiatives so far for the flyway-scale conservation of the species.
The LIFE AWOM project will focus on developing a comprehensive, coherent, and climate-resilient flyway site network for the species, which can serve as an example of systematic site network planning for other species. In 19 Natura 2000 staging sites in Europe and one wintering site in Senegal, the project will demonstrate habitat management and restoration techniques for the Aquatic Warbler and other marshland bird species. These techniques will be relevant not only in the conservation of the Aquatic Warbler, but also in the context of climate change mitigation, adaptation and green infrastructure development. The project aims to ensure that its impact is scaled up beyond its target areas by providing input into the development of the National Restoration Plans, the new prioritised action frameworks and new Common Agricultural Policy programming documents, as well as working actively on sharing its scientific results with other conservation scientists and technical innovations with other site managers and businesses.
