It is intended to be a useful, practical guide for conservationists, farmers, companies and community groups who are actively involved in wetland conservation or creation. In recent years there has been a growing community awareness of the value of wetlands for wildlife conservation and landscape enhancement. Many efforts are now underway to repair those which have been damaged by years of mismanagement. Our experience in this field has given us confidence that most degraded wetlands can be restored to provide valuable wildlife habitat by following a few simple principles. There is much expertise available now in the general community on this subject but no one seems to have bothered to collect and compile it. This book is our attempt at this task. We hope that you will find it useful for your work in wetland conservation.
