Giving Nature a chance: How Chile is restoring its wetlands.
Wetlands are disappearing fast. But in Chile, a restoration project is showing how conservation and sustainable development can go hand in hand. Cahuil Lagoon was on the brink of collapse due to climate change, pollution, and unchecked development. With support from UNEP and the Global Environment Fund, local experts and communities worked together to revive its waters, restore wildlife, and protect livelihoods. This effort is part of a larger movement to safeguard wetlands across Chile and beyond, aligning with the Global Biodiversity Framework’s targets for nature conservation. Watch to see how wetlands can be saved—and why it matters for all of us.
