7.5 Future Strategies for Wetland Conservation

Wetlands that are a vital dynamic ecosystem and serve many of the significant ecological functions are declining due to different factors such as encroachment of land, developmental activities, the introduction of alien species, climate change, deforestation, drainage of water, etc. These factors are vital challenges to sustainable wetland conservation that needs to be drawn from a combination of science and traditional knowledge. It will be successful only when every individual understands their role in wetland conservation. In the context of the sustainable future of wetland, sustainable consumption and production must be promoted. Ramsar Convention has brought in focus to the world information about deteriorating wetlands as an important environmental issue. This condition is much severe in the case of India, where 2–3% of wetlands are lost every year, thus a matter of global concern to protect our precious wetland. We need to see them as our common future and conserve them for our sustainable urban future. At all levels, sound policies, attitude, and efforts are required for the sustainable conservation of wetlands. Majorly threatening factors must be checked in response to wetland deterioration. Management and wetland legislation must be strengthened for improving wetland conservation. Wetland education must be promoted. Lastly, international cooperation must be headed for better conservation strategies.
