Wetlands of Tropical and Subtropical Asia and Africa

Focusing on 17 exemplary regions, different types of tropical and subtropical wetlands from across Asia and Africa are surveyed and described in detail.

Volumes in this series contain a selection of monographs on individual wetlands from different countries and regions that share common geographical characteristics. Each wetland is analyzed by a regional expert in terms of their biological resources, their ecosystem services, and their importance for sustaining local livelihoods. Threats to the integrity of the wetland are discussed, and possible and actual conservation measures described. Taken together, the books in the series provide detailed information on the world�s most important wetlands, and wetland types, as well as their current and potential biological resources.
