1st International Conference on Wellness in Wetlands 2025: Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future

Wetlands are more than just ecosystems—they are lifelines. Known as the Earth’s kidneys, wetlands filter water, store carbon, support nearly 40% of global biodiversity, and regulate climate. But there’s more: these serene landscapes also support our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Wellness in Wetlands 2025 is a global conference hosted in Sri Lanka, aligning with the Ramsar theme “Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future” and drawing deep inspiration from the global Healthy Parks, Healthy People movement.

We bring together voices from across the world—scientists, conservationists, health professionals, policymakers, educators, community leaders, and wellness practitioners—to explore how wetlands can support not only the planet but people’s lives and futures.
