Integrated Resource Management Policy of Wetland between Threat, Conservation, and Wise Use

There is a unique appreciation that wetlands, in all their classifications, provide exceptional services to humans (communities and recreation) and ecological systems therefore, they need wise management procedures for the present and the future. The Convention on Wetlands is an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Wetland loss is the loss of wetland area due to human activities converting wetlands to non-wetland areas. Wetlands are essential to the global hydrological cycle because they provide water for human use, agricultural production, recreation, and the survival of biological diversity. In addition, wetlands provide food (particularly fish, rice, and other natural resources) and fiber (such as wood, peat, and reeds); they are also rich in rare plant and animal species and serve as sites for economic development based on industry, transportation, food production, and tourism. Wetlands are facing social, financial, and environmental challenges across the globe as a result of degradation and poor management, particularly disregard for their economic values. This study aims to obvious the importance, and challenges of wetlands. Moreover, it presents an action plan for the conservation and wise use of one of the vital ecosystems, wetlands, for keeping ecosystem functions for human benefits, biodiversity, and reduction of loss/degradation.
