Our Mission: The Wetlands Research Association (WRA), accords with the Agenda of Science for Environment and Development into the 21st Century (ASCEND 21)," that it is the responsibility of science to provide independent explanations of its findings to individuals, organizations and governments", and more specifically, recommendations 34-43 relating to Research and Monitoring of the Earth System. Recommendation 36 states: There is a need for research directed towards improved understanding at the local and regional scales, of the hydrologic cycle, including its interaction with soil and vegetation, and its response to changing land use and pollution, environmental degradation, and rising industrial, agricultural and domestic demands…..: In keeping with the objectives of ASCEND 21, The Wetlands Research Association works with community groups to establish sustainable Natural Resource management programmes and developing long term environmental monitoring programs to promote both the use of sound scientific data in the environmental evaluation of management and development proposals.
