Evaluation of the Wetland in Yencheng, China
Main Article Content
Abstract
The wetlands of China are components of hydrological systems that, when well managed, provide water in periods of shortage, important flood controls in periods of heavy rain or snowmelt, food for millions of people, and breeding and feeding habitat for many wild species. In July 2006, I participated in a monitoring and evaluation mission of a UNDP-GEF project on Conservation and Sustainable Use of Wetlands in China. The project in Yancheng aims at establishing wetland biodiversity conservation as a routine consideration in national, provincial and local government decision making and action. Started in June 2005, the project ends by the end of 2007. The evaluation team reviewed the progress achieved so far and identified implementation problems.
