There is today a growing awareness that many wetlands are more valuable in their natural, or only slightly modified state, than if drained, dyked or built upon. Past neglect of wetlands has meant that there is insufficient material available on policy guidance, planning techniques, or management methodologies for their conservation and sustainable use in different regions. This publication begins to redress the balance by reviewing the importance of wetlands, examining the reasons for wetland loss, and identifying ways and means to improve wetland management

This four volume directory was published for the IVth World Parks Congress held in Caracas, Venezuela, in February 1992, by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) and IUCN in cooperation with the British Petroleum Company p.l.c. This is the first time a world-wide survey of protected area systems has been compiled by WCMC. It is organized into national accounts, each comprising a description of the national protected areas system, accompanied by a summary list and map of protected areas. The directory aims to provide extensive background information on the protected area systems of the world, and to stimulate the continual process of review and update of information on protected areas.
