• A Toolkit for Integrated Wetland Assessment
  The document outlines a toolkit for integrated wetland assessment created by experts from the World Conservation Union. It emphasizes the ecological and economic significance of wetlands, which provide vital resources and services for local communities, especially poorer groups. As wetlands face increasing threats from human activities, the toolkit aims to improve decision-making by integrating biodiversity, economic valuation, and livelihood assessments. It provides methodologies for assessing wetland health and resource use, highlighting the need for collaboration among conservationists, policymakers, and local communities to ensure sustainable management and protection of these critical ecosystems.
