Conservation organisations value wetlands for the richness of their biodiversity – especially for their birds, fish and plants. Conservationists want to see wetlands preserved. Many governments and development organisations, on the other hand, see wetlands as unexploited resources or a hindrance to development:as essential supplies of water for domestic and irrigation needs, as land to be drained for agriculture and forestry, or simply as wastelands infested with mosquitoes. The truth is that wetlands are vital environmental sanctuaries, critical to the viable functioning of the ecosystems in which we all live. More specifically, wetlands are the sources of livelihood for the people – often poor farmers and fishers – who live in and around them. The subject of this book is the challenge of reducing poverty whilst at the same time as conserving the biological and intrinsic values of wetlands. The book draws on the experiences of four projects with financial support from Wetlands International, in Indonesia, Kenya, Zambia/Malawi and Mali, that combined conservation and development goals. The four projects demonstrated – each in a different way – how improving livelihoods and conserving wetlands can go hand in hand. The book tells the story of the problems that the individual projects faced, and how they were addressed. In addition, there is a review of seven other wetland-based projects from around the world. Each project is analysed in terms of six cross-cutting themes: poverty and livelihoods, biodiversity and ecosystem services, water management, community engagement, policy, and project management. The book is written by and for practitioners involved in planning and managing conservation or development projects in wetlands. The book should also be an aid to policy makers and all those trying to reconcile the apparently conflicting goals of environment and development programmes.

This booklet presents results obtained within the ALOS Kyoto & Carbon (K&C) Initiative. The Initiative builds on the experience gained from the JERS-1 Global Rain Forest and Boreal Forest Mapping (GRFM/GBFM) projects, in which SAR data from the JERS-1 satellite were used to generate image mosaics over the entire tropical and boreal zones of Earth. While the GRFM/GBFM projects were undertaken already in the mid 1990's, they demonstrated the utility of L-band SAR data for mapping and monitoring forest and wetland areas and the importance of providing spatially and temporally consistent satellite acquisitions for regional-scale monitoring and surveillance. The ALOS K&C Initiative is set out to suppor t data and information needs raised by international environmental Conventions, Carbon cycle science and Conservation of the environment. The project is led by JAXA EORC and supported by an international Science Team consisting of some 25 research groups from 14 countries. The objective of the ALOS K&C Initiative is to develop regional-scale applications and thematic products derived primarily from ALOS PALSAR data that can be used to meet the specific information requirements relating to Conventions, Carbon and Conservation. The Initiative is undertaken within the context of three themes which relate to three specific global biomes; Forests, Wetlands and Deserts. A fourth theme deals with the generation of continental-scale ALOS PALSAR image mosaics. Each theme has identified key products that are generated from the PALSAR data including land cover, forest cover and forest change maps, biomass and structure (Forests), wetlands inventory and change (Wetlands) and freshwater resources (Deserts). Each of these products are generated using a combination of PALSAR, in situ and ancillary datasets. The mosaic data sets and thematic products generated within the Initiative are available to the public at the K&C homepage at JAXA EORC: http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/kyoto/kyoto_index.html

Part 1 of this review synthesizes recent research on status and climate vulnerability of freshwater and saltwater wetlands, and their contribution to addressing climate change (carbon cycle, adaptation, resilience). Peatlands and vegetated coastal wetlands are among the most carbon rich sinks on the planet sequestering approximately as much carbon as do global forest ecosystems. Estimates of the consequences of rising temperature on current wetland carbon storage and future carbon sequestration potential are summarized. We also demonstrate the need to prevent drying of wetlands and thawing of permafrost by disturbances and rising temperatures to protect wetland carbon stores and climate adaptation/resiliency ecosystem services. Preventing further wetland loss is found to be important in limiting future emissions to meet climate goals, but is seldom considered. In Part 2, the paper explores the policy and management realm from international to national, subnational and local levels to identify strategies and policies reflecting an integrated understanding of both wetland and climate change science. Specific recommendations are made to capture synergies between wetlands and carbon cycle management, adaptation and resiliency to further enable researchers, policy makers and practitioners to protect wetland carbon and climate adaptation/resiliency ecosystem services.
