The world’s biodiversity – the species, ecosystems and ecological processes that compose the natural world – are of incalculable value to humanity.
Wetlands contain biodiversity of exceptional conservation significance, comprising many unique ecosystems and a wide array of globally-threatened species. At the same time they typically form essential components of local, national and even regional economies, as well as underpinning the livelihoods of adjacent human communities.
Protected areas of one sort or another cover about 10 per cent of the world's land surface; the large majority were established in the second part of the twentieth century. Although most
were originally set up to protect landscape values, wildlife or more recently biodiversity, they are increasingly expected in addition to provide wider benefits to human society.1 copyCall Number: 333.95 DUD, [EL]ISBN/ISSN: 978-2-88085-279-9Physical Description: 39 p. ; 29 cm
