About us
"Save Wetlands" Association was set up by naturalists emotionally and professionally
connected with the Całowanie Peatland in the Mazovian Landscape Park. A lot of founding
members of the association are students or graduates of the biology and geography faculties
of the University of Warsaw. A few of them work at the Institute of Land Reclamation and
Grassland Farming in Falenty. Some had been involved in the problems of the Całowanie Peatland
earlier as members of the the Polish Ecological Club's section "Otwockie Sosny", Mazovian
Society for the Protection of Fauna, the Coalition for Wetland Protection or employees of
the Mazovian Landscape Park.
The first meeting of the future founding members took the form of a trip organised by the
Coalition for Wetland Protection on Feb 4 2001 - the Wetlands Day commemorating the signing
of the Ramsar Convention.The trip inspired its participants to create an organisation with
an aim to protect such places as Całowanie.
In March the first meeting of the founding members was held at the Faculty of Biology of the
University of Warsaw. It was then that "Save Wetlands"( for short "CMok" in Polish) was accepted
as the name of the future association. The work on its statute and the concept of the active
protection of the Całowanie Peatland began.
On December 19 2001 the first General Assembly of the Founding Mambers took place and the
Managing Board was elected. In April 2002 after almost a year-long attempts the association
was officially registered.
