The wetlands of Sedili are among the best remaining examples of wetlands in the country with distinct gradation of riverine vegetation and freshwater swamp forests and rich of wildlife. It is a very attractive area for tourists and hence where sustainable ecotourism can strongly contribute to local livelihoods.

By monitoring the status of wetlands and their species, we ensure that these values are safeguarded and restored – for humans and nature alike.
