The Purpose of the Wetland Policy is to: 1. provide a basis for the sustainable management of wetland resources in order to provide ecosystems services, increase climate change resilience and enhance biodiversity; 2. drew together diverse legislation and policies to provide a coherent frame work for wetland management; and 3. fulfill the country’s commitment to MEAs including, but not limited to, The Ramsar Convention.
