The Ramsar Convention was established in 1971 to ensure the conservation and wise use of wetlands across the world. India joined the Convention in 1982, however, in the past 50 years, despite Ramsar’s incredible achievements, the threat to wetlands across the globe, including India, has not diminished. This book studies the governance of multiuse wetlands in India.The volume provides an exhaustive analysis of rural, peri-urban, and urban human-made wetlands to establish the relevance of institutional design and the effective role of authority in governing multiuse wetland ecosystem services. The author argues that the most challenging task in governing wetlands is to frame institutional choices that users and non-users comprehend, and agree to pursue under alternative property rights regimes.Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the book provides a broad look into the causes and consequences of wetland ecosystem degradation and offers insights into improved sustainable management systems for different types of multiuse wetlands. It will be indispensable for students and researchers of environmental studies, sustainable development, biodiversity, conservation, and agricultural, natural, and environmental resource economics.

Hills and mountains play a critical role in sustaining global biodiversity, freshwater resources, cultural heritage, and ecological balance. Found in over 80% of the world’s countries, these landscapes offer indispensable services not only to their immediate inhabitants but also to populations far beyond. Nowhere is this more evident than in South and Southeast Asia—regions home to some of the planet’s most diverse mountain ecosystems and cultures. Yet these valuable ecosystems are increasingly at risk due to climate change, socio-economic pressures, and unsustainable land-use practices.Revitalizing Hill and Mountain Agroecosystems Landscapes: An Interdisciplinary Perspective presents an insightful account of the challenges and opportunities facing these fragile landscapes. It combines ecological, cultural, socio-economic, and policy perspectives to analyze the complex interconnections shaping hill and mountain agroecosystems. This volume underscores the need for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development strategies tailored to diverse geographic and cultural contexts.Key features:· A comprehensive interdisciplinary approach drawing from ecology, hydrology, agronomy, economics, sociology, climate science, and more· Region-specific insights focused on South and Southeast Asia’s mountain ranges· An indispensable roadmap for disaster risk reduction and sustainable resource management· Peer-reviewed chapters written in both technical and accessible language, complemented by illustrations and case studies· Practical frameworks for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working on mountain ecosystem sustainabilityThis book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, development planners, and policymakers interested in agroecosystem sustainability, environmental conservation, and rural development in mountainous regions. By bridging science and practice, it aims to inspire informed action to preserve and enhance hill and mountain landscapes for current and future generations.
