Our Mission
LiWeFor (Living Labs for Wetland Forest Research) aims to establish a global network of Living Labs dedicated to wetland forest research. We seek to raise expertise among researchers and decision-makers by fostering a robust exchange of knowledge between leading institutions.
We conduct joint field campaigns in Estonia, Peru, and Malaysia to study greenhouse gas emissions and develop sustainable management strategies.
