This knowledge base builds on methods and approaches developed in the framework of on-going efforts at the Mediterranean scale to map wetland ecosystems and assess their condition. It is relevant for several on-going initiatives at a regional, European and global level (e.g. UN Decade on Ecosystem restoration, EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Barcelona Convention and its protocols on Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Specially Protected Areas). The development of the products presented in this report was carried out through a collaborative process that aimed to engage key players and stakeholders working on different aspects and scales of wetland mapping and habitat identification in the Mediterranean region. The Pan-Mediterranean wetland knowledge base constitutes the first step in building and making available a harmonised knowledge base across the whole region on the spatial extent, distribution and type of wetlands in the Mediterranean region. Despite the amount of data ingested and the variety of contributors, large areas of the whole basin still lack detailed and reliable regional data, which makes the final Pan-Mediterranean wetlands map worth improving as data and knowledge becomes more available and accessible over time. Further efforts are needed to identify available higher resolution data for specific areas.

The Pan-Mediterranean wetland knowledge base builds on methods and approaches developed in the framework of on-going efforts at the Mediterranean scale to map wetland ecosystems and assess their condition. It is relevant for several on-going initiatives at a regional, European and global level (e.g. UN Decade on Ecosystem restoration, EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Barcelona Convention and its protocols on Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Specially Protected Areas). As part of these efforts, ETC-UMA produced an assessment that targets the distribution, state and trends of pressures and impacts on key animal and plant biodiversity hosted by wetland habitats in the Mediterranean region. The assessment of wetland biodiversity conditions aims to complement existing knowledge and address the lack of readily available spatially-explicit information on the areas where biodiversity unique to the Mediterranean occurs, and where endemic biodiversity is most threatened, using data from The Red List of Threatened Species™ of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). For the threatened species analysis, only species categorised in the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN) and Vulnerable (VU) were considered. The goal is to highlight priority areas for potential conservation actions in the region, and to support the regional efforts in advocating for effective wetland management and nature-based solutions in the Mediterranean region.
