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.
