Critical Acclaim

‘Just as wetlands are hotspots of biodiversity, this book is a hotspot of knowledge and insights in the landscape of international wildlife law. Written by an impressive line-up of experts, it covers the Ramsar Convention and its broader context, from ‘wise use’ all the way to “rights of wetlands”’
– Arie Trouwborst, Tilburg University, the Netherlands

‘Excellent and thoughtful contributions to the legal analysis of the commitments and values of the Ramsar Convention and its consistency with other regulatory frameworks where it has clearly left its mark. Thus, the authors provide an enlightening mapping of the tensions and possible legal and policy directions that may develop in the future.’
– Mar Campins, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain
