Welcome to Working for Wetlands site


Wetlands play a vital role in human health and well-being yet out of more than 114 000 wetlands that have been mapped all over the country many are either damaged or destroyed due to human impact.

In 2000 the Working for Wetlands Programme was launched due to a need to rehabilitate these wetlands spread throughout the country. To date there are about 40 wetlands rehabilitation projects all over South Africa. This has not only seen thousands of people getting employment but has also made an impact in skills development.

In 2009 alone, Working for Wetlands rehabilitated 95 wetlands in all nine provinces and in the process created employment for more than 1500 people and made use of 250 small businesses.

The programme is implemented by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) on behalf of the departments of Environmental Affairs (DEA); Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and Water Affairs (DWA). It forms part of the government’s Expanded Public Works Programme, which seeks to draw unemployed people into the productive sector of the economy.
