Eco-Index Summary: The Wetlands for the Future initiative has been active for 10 years, and has provided support to more than 225 wetland conservation projects. This report assesses the Fund's performance, achievements, and how effectively it has met its proposed goals. Survey results from 87 percent of past grantees were collected, and data such as impacts, lessons learned, and multiplier effects were analyzed. The review concludes with a request for Fund sponsors to develop clear benchmarks of success for the Fund and the projects it supports, as well as the development of a strategy and vision for the Fund, and the incorporation of results-driven and wetland-specific indicators for success.
