The report includes attemp to apply the Ecosystem Approach (EA) to actual wetland or forest locations in Viet Nam through different case studies. The analysis the report offered were used to shape preliminary discussion of the policy changes that seem now to be needed for Viet Nam's wetlands.
The Ecosystem Approach: Five steps to implementation
The Ecosystem Approach is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sustainable use in an equitable way. It is the primary framework for action under CBD and comprises 12 Principles.In considering how to best implement the Ecosystem Approach, several attempts have been made to rank the principles, either by order of importance or according to theme.
While these efforts are interesting conceptually, what have been lacking so far is practical assistance in applying the Ecosystem Approach in the field.
IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Managemet (CEM) have produced this document as a move towards filling the gap.
