Abstract

The Wallacea Wetland Research Collaboration Center was founded in 2024 through BRIN's Research Collaboration Center Program, in partnership with Halu Oleo University and BRIN's Research Center for Limnology and Water Resources. It focuses on wetland ecosystems in Wallacea—covering Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku—regions rich in biodiversity and endemism but still underexplored. The center integrates ecosystem data, assesses biodiversity, and develops inclusive wetland management strategies. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, it promotes ecological data collection, biodiversity synthesis, and adaptive frameworks that blend global conservation principles with local wisdom. Addressing challenges like habitat degradation, climate resilience, and fair resource governance, the center emphasizes wetlands as vital yet often overlooked ecosystems. Rooted in scientific diplomacy, social justice, and community empowerment, it fosters knowledge exchange, policy dialogue, and capacity building among academic and local stakeholders. Ultimately, it envisions wetlands as both ecological treasures and socio-cultural landscapes where biodiversity and community livelihoods thrive together.
