Through a mentoring initiative of the Society of Wetland Scientists International Chapter, including volunteer scientists, students, and early-career professionals, we created a database of 283 organizations focused on wetlands for the Andean States (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela). This review includes data about organizations spatial distribution among seven countries, their sectors, and their principal research areas as well as Andean Ramsar Sites data. The most representative research areas were hydrogeology, biogeochemistry, and biodiversity (represented by fauna, flora, algae, phytoplankton, and zooplankton). We observed a lack of wetland restoration, mapping, and management research. The academic sector (universities) had the largest number of organizations (176 organizations), followed by government (51), non-profits (46), and the private sector (10). The Andean States harbor a total of 94 Ramsar Sites covering 300,000 km2 distributed in seven countries. Through this review, we highlight the magnitude of wetland science in the Andean States and hope to support a future wetland scientist network for the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region and allow LAC scientists to connect internationally
