About WLRC

WLRC was officially affiliated with AAU which co- manages it together with Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern, Switzerland. The Centre is governed by a Board of Trustees, which has a direct oversight power over the Executive organ. WLRC is managing 7 learning watersheds and 23 scientific monitoring stations.
