Running from 9:00 to 13:00 CET, this immersive training session organized by IDENER is designed to equip environmental professionals, educators, conservationists, and community leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to champion wetland conservation.

Participants will delve deep into the ecological significance of wetlands, exploring their role in biodiversity, water filtration, and flood control. The program will also cover critical topics such as Nature Restoration Law, conservation strategies, and the latest restoration techniques.
