Several elements were identified for the success of the campaign:

• A regional network of actors: national focal points and communication, education, awareness and participation (CEPA), Mediterranean Ramsar Site managers, and nearly 400 non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
• Providing communications tools and registration forms in the languages of the Mediterranean countries.
• Issuing a call for projects to support local activities.
• MedWet’s ability to cooperate with the Ramsar Secretariat and the Ramsar France association.

In light of these encouraging results, MedWet is planning to relaunch the campaign in 2025.
