A comprehensive survey of exemplary wetlands that highlights their importance for local livelihoods as well as for global biodiversity

Covering a number of different regions across the Americas, Wetlands of Tropical and Subtropical South and Central America provides detailed information on some of the world�s most important wetlands and wetland types, including the Amazon basin, as well as their current and potential biological resources. Each wetland is analyzed by a regional expert.

Written with UN sustainable development goals in mind, Wetlands of Tropical and Subtropical South and Central America includes information on:

  • The importance of sustaining local economic livelihoods in each wetland region by providing food resources as well as recreational opportunities
  • Wetland ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, water filtration, nutrient retention, and flood mitigation
  • Threats to the integrity of each wetland region as well as management strategies and practical conservation and restoration measures

Wetlands of Tropical and Subtropical South and Central America is an essential reference on the subject for ecologists, conservation scientists, hydrologists, and environmental and water resource managers.
