Ramsar Convention Principles and Guidelines for Wetland Restoration

Authors:
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands

Publication Date:

Abstract/Summary:
The principles presented here provide the underlying ideas that form the foundation of a successful restoration project, and as such they should be integrated into national wetland policy. The guidelines presented here provide a step-by-step process guiding the identification, development and implementation of a restoration project, and as such they can be integrated into administrative guidelines. However, every restoration project is unique, and whilst these principles and guidelines are designed to be useful in many situations, they are neither universally applicable nor definitive.
