Speak up for wetlands campaign
Our friends at the Ramsar Regional Initiative for the Mediterranean have a new campaign called Speak Up for Wetlands. Here's a summary but you can find out all the details on MedWet's website.
How can you get involved?
We want YOU to join the campaign by recording a short video answering one key question about the importance of wetlands. These videos will be presented to key leaders and will serve as a united call for action.
Film Yourself
Record a brief, impactful video (40 seconds or less), ideally outdoors near a wetland, or wherever you are comfortable. Then, in a simple, natural and heartfelt language, explain why protecting wetlands is crucial for our shared future. End your message with a call to action to protect and restore wetlands.
No fancy gear? No problem!
Use your smartphone’s selfie camera and a steady hand or tripod. It’s all about your message!
Camera Shy?
If you prefer not to be on camera, that’s okay! You can record just your voice and send us a photo of yourself. We’ll create a video with your photo and message as a voiceover.
Share your message
Once you've recorded your video, send it to us via email to info@medwet.org using WeTransfer. We’ll handle the editing and make sure your message reaches the right audience.
Get Featured
Your video will be shared on MedWet’s social media during World Wetlands Day celebration, and a compilation of the best submissions will be showcased at the 15th Conference of the Convention on Wetlands (COP15), putting your voice in front of global decision-makers.
For participants who are minors in their own country, please provide a dated and signed certificate:
– Name of the organisation or name of the parent is responsible for the videos sent to MedWet representing the name of the child or the name of the group of children (e.g. name of the class concerned).
– Name of organisation or name of parent authorises the distribution of these videos as part of MedWet’s communication materials.
