Wetlands act as natural sponges, absorbing excess water to mitigate floods, and their vegetation and soil filter pollutants, thereby purifying water. Restoring wetlands enhances these vital ecosystem services.

Private real estate developers often have interests that conflict with wetland conservation, as their projects may involve draining or filling wetlands. Local communities, NGOs, research institutions, and government bodies are crucial stakeholders for successful wetland restoration.

The campaign's core objective is the conservation and restoration of wetlands, focusing on their ecological functions and biodiversity, not conversion or development for other purposes.

Nepal shares a long border with India and has significant transboundary biodiversity issues, making it a natural and crucial partner for a regional conservation initiative. Brazil, Australia, and Canada are geographically distant and less likely to be primary partners in a regional initiative focused on India's immediate neighborhood.

Given India's location, regional initiatives are most likely to involve neighboring countries in South Asia and potentially extend to Southeast Asia due to shared ecological zones and biodiversity hotspots.

The initiative focuses on regional cooperation, aiming to create a unified approach for conserving species that cross national borders and restoring shared habitats. While sustainable tourism and research are related, the core objective is regional collaboration on conservation.
