Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network (GCV Green Network) have just published their Clyde Wetlands Opportunity Mapping Report identifying locations where the creation, restoration or management of wetlands across the Region will help reverse habitat loss and restore wetland networks.

Wetlands are one of our most threatened ecosystems, with an estimated 75% of UK wetlands lost in the last 300 years. And yet they are increasingly recognised as crucially important as a unique and biodiverse habitat, as well as for ecosystem services such as improving water quality, slowing the flow of water and natural flood management and effective carbon storage.

The Mapping Report will help GCV Green Network and their partners (Wildfowl & Wetland Trust, Edinburgh Napier University, Buglife Scotland, Green Action Trust, & NatureScot) identify Nature Networks and target delivery to greatest effect.
