A comprehensive survey of exemplary wetlands that highlights their importance for local livelihoods as well as for global biodiversity

Covering 12 mountainous regions ranging from medium to high altitudes, Wetlands of Mountainous Regions provides detailed information on the world's most important wetlands and wetland types across Eurasia and the Americas as well as their current and potential biological resources. Each wetland is analyzed by a regional expert.

Written with UN sustainable development goals in mind, Wetlands of Mountainous Regions includes information on:

• Wetlands of Eastern Himalaya, Nepal, Pakistan, Armenia, Georgia, Slovakia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Argentina, and Serbia
• The importance in sustaining local economic livelihoods of each wetland region by providing food resources as well as recreational opportunities
• Wetland ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, water filtration, nutrient retention, and flood mitigation
• Threats to the integrity of each wetland region as well as management strategies and practical conservation and restoration measures

Wetlands of Mountainous Regions is an essential reference on the subject for ecologists, conservation scientists, hydrologists, and environmental and water resource managers. Governmental agencies and professionals in fisheries, agriculture, and rural development will also find value in the book.
