Abstract: ABSTRACT In June 2025, the Brazilian government reinstated the National Wetlands Committee (CNZU), dismantled in early 2019 by the former one. Although CNZU was re‐established later that year, civil society was excluded, which raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of wetland conservation. As Brazil holds about 10% of global wetlands, CNZU's reinstitution, together with the creation of the National Institute of Science and Technology of the Brazilian Wetscape Network, reaffirms Brazil's commitment to the Ramsar Convention.
