Working for Wetlands takes a contrasting look at our wetlands. How do we manage our wetlands to maintain a healthy ecosystem so that they continue to perform vital functions such as flood control, water purification, etc, and continue to produce the many products such as fish, fodder, timber, upon which we depend? Safeguarding mountain wetlands - water allocation - river basin management - invasive species - wetland communication, education and public awareness - are just some of the key areas that are essential for the sustainable management of wetlands: this leaflet looks briefly at these and highlights a few success stories from within the Ramsar Convention.
