INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON WETLANDS SUSTAINABILITY 2009 (ISWS 2009), LE MERIDIEN HOTEL KOTA KINABALU SABAH WEST MALAYSIA

Hi, We are Secretariat of JSPS-VCC Core University Program International Seminar on Wetland and Sustainability 2009 - Wetland & Climate Change: The Needs for Integration... We have held a successful seminar on wetland in 2007, just visit our previous ISWS2007 to know more about the last event.

THEME - WETLANDS & CLIMATE CHANGE: THE NEEDS FOR INTEGRATION

INTRODUCTION

Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on the planet. In addition to supporting exceptional levels of biological diversity, the ecosystem services provided by wetlands contribute to natural disaster prevention or mitigation, poverty reduction, socio-economic development, and water and food security; positively contributing to human health and well-being. However, with changes in climatic factors wetlands is lost and/or degraded at an alarming rate.

It is the most threatened ecosystems worldwide, as clearly demonstrated by the tremendous deterioration and loss of small and medium-sized wetlands all over the globe. The change in the climatic factors, lack of integration among the stakeholders, lack of a catchment-wide approach to wetland management, and lack of enforcement of existing legal provisions to safeguard wetlands and their resources, are some of the factors which contribute to the continuing loss and degradation of wetlands. This conference will present an opportunity for a series of actions that can be taken by wetland practitioners and stakeholders, to stem the continued losses and degradation of wetlands.

SEMINAR SUB THEMES

Papers reporting research works addressing any of the following stream :

• Impacts of climate change on wetlands.
• Protection of wetland areas along the coastal areas (mangrove, riparian, seagrass etc.) due to changes from environmental factors.
• Traditional cultural practices and indigenous knowledge which contribute positively to the conservation and wise use of wetland resources.
• Integrated approaches and best management practices for biodiversity and sustainability of wetlands areas.
• Policy and legal frameworks to protect and conserve wetlands areas.
