36. River Basin Management to Conserve Wetlands and Water Resources.

Author

Bobbink, Roland, Beltman, Boudewijn, Verhoeven, Jos T. A., Whigham, Dennis F., Pittock, Jamie, Lehner, Bernhard, and Lifeng, Li

Abstract

This chapter is based on the premise that the precipitous decline in freshwater wetlands and species can only be arrested through conservation and sustainable management at a large scale, based on water (usually river) basins. A number of approaches to large-scale freshwater wetlands conservation are presented and assessed to draw conclusions on future conservation priorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

37. River Basin Management to Conserve Wetlands and Water Resources.

Abstract

As environmental scientists, advocates and managers we have an obligation to lead efforts to conserve biodiversity, but for freshwater species and habitats we are failing thus far. Increasing global demand for water, irrigated agricultural products and hydroelectricity are exacerbating the threats to freshwater biodiversity. Not only does climate change threaten to change the hydrology of freshwater habitats, but the adaptations proposed by governments and others for greater hydroelectricity generation and increased water storage would further exacerbate the impact on freshwater ecosystems. This chapter has briefly examined large-scale mechanisms for wetlands conservation based on: ecoregion prioritisation and vision setting, integrated river basin management, poverty reduction, multilateral treaties, regional collaboration between countries and target-driven work by a non-government organisation. These methods show some promise but also highlight the complexity of this task and long term investments required to establish sustainable freshwater conservation initiatives. The paper also highlights the need for wetland conservation advocates to build partnerships and capacities to meet the social and economic needs of local communities to sustain wetlands conservation. This paper contends that large-scale planning and strategic interventions at the river basin, national and regional scale are needed to conserve the ecological processes — the hydrological regime in particular — required to sustain wetlands to the degree that the societies concerned choose. Perhaps our greatest challenge is to reach out and engage the many sectors of our societies that need to be part of these large-scale solutions and help them choose for wetlands conservation.
