Distr. GENERAL UNEP/CBD/COP/11 CBD Distr. GENERAL UNEP/CBD/COP/11/INF/2 10 September 2012 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY Eleventh meeting Hyderabad, India, 8-19 October 2012 Item 13.3 of the provisional agenda* REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE EXPERT GROUP ON MAINTAINING THE ABILITY OF BIODIVERSITY TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE WATER CYCLE Note by the Executive Secretary 1. The tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, in decision X/28 paragraph 39, recognized the good synergies between the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and requested the Executive Secretary, and invited the Secretariat and Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) of the Ramsar Convention, and other relevant partners, subject to the availability of financial resources, to establish an expert working group, building upon the relevant core expertise of the STRP, to review available information, and provide key policy relevant messages, on maintaining the ability of biodiversity to continue to support the water cycle. Progress with the work of the expert group was reported to the fifteenth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA). SBSTTA recommendation XV/5, section II subparagraph (b), requested the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity to make the report of the expert group available for the information of the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties. Consequently, the Executive Secretary is hereby making the report of the expert group available. 2. This document is circulated in the form and languages in which it was received by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. 3. The summary report of the expert group is provided for the consideration of the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity as document UNEP/CBD/COP/11/30. *UNEP/CBD/COP/11/1. /… In order to minimize the environmental impacts of the Secretariat’s processes, and to contribute to the Secretary-General’s initiative for a C-Neutral UN, this document is printed in limited numbers. Delegates are kindly requested to bring their copies to meetings and not to request additional copies. Report of the expert group on maintaining the ability of biodiversity to continue to support the water cycle September 2012 Acknowledgements This work was made possible through the generous support of the Governments of Australia, Canada, Finland, Norway and the Republic of Korea.

The present suppkinent to the 1948-1949 edition brings up to date, on the basis of information receivjed.from the states by the end of Novem­ ber, 1948^, the* names of the principal elective administrative officers of the states and of the members of their legislatures. Necessarily, most of the lists of legislators are unofficial, final certification hot having been possible so soon after the election of November 2. In some cases post­ election contests were pending;. However, every effort for accuracy has been made by state officials who provided the lists aiid by the CouncJLl_ of State Governments. » A second 1949. supplement, to be issued in July, will list appointive administrative officers in all the states, and also their elective officers and legislators, with any revisions of the. present rosters that may be required. ^ Thus the basic, biennial ^oo/t q/7^? States and its two supplements offer comprehensive information on the work of state governments, and current, convenient directories of the men and women who constitute those governments, both in their administrative organizations and in their legislatures.

  • Transboundary Wetlands: Exploring Formal Mechanisms for Cooperation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Zoe Rosenblum for the degree of Master of Science in Water Resources Policy and Management presented on December 15, 2020. Title: Transboundary Wetlands: Exploring Formal Mechanisms for Cooperation Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________ Susanne Schmeier Despite increased understanding of the benefits of wetlands, global wetland area continues to decrease. Wetlands are being lost at an alarming rate, and with them, biodiversity, floodwater storage, water purification, and countless other functions. There is little information available about mechanisms to manage transboundary wetlands. While the Ramsar Convention is one international mechanism for wetland governance, there are very few cases in which all riparian parties have jointly designated a Transboundary Ramsar Site. Most research on transboundary wetlands explores specific conflicts or management issues or argues for or against the Ramsar Convention as a legal tool to manage wetlands. However, little research explores institutions for managing transboundary wetlands. Furthermore, while there is much evidence that freshwater resources are a source of cooperation, there is emphasis on rivers and wetlands are largely absent from the discourse. This research employs document analysis, coding, and spatial analysis to explore how transboundary wetlands are managed. The products of this research are: a database of the world’s transboundary wetlands; an in-depth analysis of the management of the Wadden Sea, Okavango Delta, and

  • Addressing Change in Wetland Ecological Character
    Ramsar Handbooks 4th edition Handbook 19 Addressing change in wetland ecological character About the Convention on Wetlands The Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) is an intergovernmental treaty whose mission is “the conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local, regional and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world”. As of October 2010, 160 nations have joined the Convention as Contracting Parties, and more than 1900 wetlands around the world, covering over 186 million hectares, have been designated for inclusion in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance. What are wetlands? As defined by the Convention, wetlands include a wide variety of habitats such as marshes, peatlands, floodplains, rivers and lakes, and coastal areas such as saltmarshes, mangroves, and seagrass beds, but also coral reefs and other marine areas no deeper than six metres at low tide, as well as human-made wetlands such as waste-water treatment ponds and reservoirs.

The physical, biological, chemical and geologic interactions among different components of the environment that occur within a wetland. Anzali wetland complex is a good example of a natural wetland, characteristic of the South Caspian lowlands. It supports an extremely diverse wetland flora and fauna. Anzali wetland supports over 1% of the regional Middle East wintering populations of several species of waterbirds. Anzali wetland complex as a large and freshwater lagoon fed by several rivers, separated from the Caspian Sea by a dune system; supports extensive reed beds and abundant submerged and floating vegetation. It is vital life support system for many biological communities as it has so many different fishes like caviar that is the best in the world and supports a major commercial fishery. It has marvelous climate and beautiful views for tourists’ attraction as an important recreation center in the north of I. R. Iran. Key words: Wetlands, function, environmental problem, Caspian sea, Anzali wetland.
