This guide is intended to provide a summary of the steps to develop wetland management planning
processes. Improved understanding of how to use these principles and planning steps will help achieve
more effective conservation and thus wetland wise use.
This summary guide has been prepared to help managers of sites listed under the Ramsar Convention
on wetlands as well as all other types of wetlands. It provides a summary of Ramsar's Handbook 16

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.

Mangrove is a type of forest growing along tidal
mudflats and along shallow water coastal areas extending

physical factors of the coastal environment.Available onlineCall Number: [EL]ISBN/ISSN: 971-91925-6-9Physical Description: 118 p.

Through BioScapes, turtle extinction risk assessments from the Pacific-European Union Marine Partnership (PEUMP) programme will be utilised to develop regional threat reduction activities for five species of marine turtles. National turtle monitoring coordinators will be established to improved national monitoring and awareness raising for turtle conservation. A network of long-term turtle nesting survey sites will be established in selected Pacific Island countries.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.
