Developing a wetland centre
-
Can you help me? I'm interested in building a wetland centre.
- This place is great - we must get one in our country
- What is a wetland centre, anyway, and where can I find out more?
The concept of a wetland centre is not familiar to many people. We understand the words 'nature reserve', 'national park', 'botanic garden', 'museum' and 'zoo'. They invoke distinct images. But what is a wetland centre?
This online manual attempts to answer the question. Further it outlines some of the philosophy, thinking and questions to be considered when developing and running a wetland centre. The emphasis is on CEPA (Communications, Education and Public Awareness) - the 'people' aspects of creating and running a wetland centre.
