Themes and indicators

Five main themes have been defined in 2009-2010 by the MWO Partners. They are :

  1. Biodiversity components
  2. Ecosystem health and integrity
  3. Drivers and pressures of change
  4. Integration of environment in development
  5. Ecosystem services

These themes collectively cover both the state of wetlands, the pressures affecting them and the resulting impacts on human well-being, and the responses by societies at large to mitigate them.
