Ecology & Conservation

Welcome to the Centre for Arid Zone and Wetlands Ecology (CAWE)

At CAWE, we are committed to advancing ecological research, promoting sustainable development, and supporting communities in arid and wetland regions. As a hub for innovation, education, and action, our mission is to address the pressing environmental challenges of climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, and water resource degradation—while empowering local communities to lead conservation efforts.

Through interdisciplinary research, field-based programs, and policy engagement, CAWE works to restore ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, and build climate resilience. Whether collaborating with governments, academic institutions, or grassroots organizations, we are driven by the belief that real change begins with science, inclusion, and sustainability.

Join us as we build a future where people and nature thrive together.
