Community Dependence Perceptions of Wetlands in Chindwin Basin

This research paper discusses the critical relationship between human communities and wetland ecosystems, highlighting the severe global degradation of these areas and the resulting impact on dependent populations.

• Wetlands are among the most threatened ecosystems globally due to factors including reclamation, climate change, fires, and the extraction of surface and groundwater.
• Between 64% and 71% of the world's wetlands have been lost to degradation since the start of the 20th century, with Asia experiencing the most significant large-scale transformations.
• Land use and land cover changes are primary drivers of wetland loss, which negatively affects land productivity, habitats, and resources, particularly impacting the poorest communities who rely on these ecosystem services.
