Call for proposals for 2024 is announced on the Nagao Wetland Fund page of the Ramsar Secretariat website. For details, please check Ramsar Nagao Wetland Fund (NWF).

In cooperation with the Ramsar Convention Secretariat, we support the activities of developing countries in the Asia-Oceania region being signatories to the Convention through the Nagao Wetland Fund (NWF).

  • We received an e-mail report on the activities of the Nagao Wetland Fund (NWF) in 2023 from Dr. Beom-Sik Yoo, Senior Advisor Asia/Oceania of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands Secretariat. Some of them are introduced below.
    • The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands Secretariat and the Nagao Natural Environment Foundation have signed a new MOU to extend NWF until 2026.
    • In 2023, NWF received a large number of applications, and three projects were approved.
    • In 2023, we were able to successfully complete the Philippines project (approved in 2019), Papua New Guinea project (approved in 2018), and Vietnam project (approved in 2019).
    • Projects for new Ramsar wetland designation were completed in 2023, and Samoa's only remaining swamp forest (Lake Vaipu) and Vanuatu's first Ramsar site (Lake Letas) were listed as Ramsar Sites.
