City of Cape Town is committed to protecting its wetlands

# Cape Town deputy mayor Eddie Andrews says the metro is committed to protecting wetlands and strengthening international commitments for wetland conservation. Cape Town counts among 43 accredited Wetland Cities around the world. The metro recently introduced its first Wetlands Report. The report recognises the best-practice work that has been undertaken to date in implementing policies and plans, to ensure Cape Town’s wetlands are protected, rehabilitated and restored. Andrews says the report provides the public with a comprehensive and beautiful summary of Cape Town’s Natural wetlands and watercourses.
