First published in 1986, this book did much to raise awareness of the importance of wetlands to people, wildlife and environmental quality. The last 20 years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the technical knowledge of how wetlands work. Nevertheless they are still being destroyed at an alarming rate.

This new edition examines the various functions, benefits and challenges of wetlands, and updates the already extensive range of material from around the world.
