Communications

These pages aim to provide WLI members with resources to help them get messages across about wetland issues, and what our centres are doing to address them.  The WLI priority themes (see right) explore how we can used themed approaches to target specific issues such as threats to migratory birds, or climate change.  Each theme has background information and standard press releases that can be adapted for local use.

Logo WLI

The WLI logo has been designed for use by WLI members in their publications, websites and interpretation material.  Click here for a downloadable version.  If you would like the 'regional' or continental versions of the logo, please contact the head of WLI. 

WLI standard text

In order to standardise the WLI approach, we have a set of texts that can be used by members and that should help to make it clear to partners what we do.  Of course these texts may be adapted, and are only a guide to how to communicate the WLI messages.

WLI brochure

The WLI brochure can be found here, and is available for use by all WLI members.  We will have this in other languages shortly, but it is just in English at the moment.
