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

Covering 17 different regions, Wetlands of Tropical and Subtropical Asia and Africa provides detailed information on some of the world's most important wetlands and wetland types across those countries, 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 Tropical and Subtropical Asia and Africa includes information on:

• Recommendations for the sustainable management of wetlands in the Asian and African tropics
• The importance of sustaining local economic livelihoods in 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 Tropical and Subtropical Asia and Africa 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.
