The impetus for this volume was the 2nd International Wetlands
Conference which was held in June, 1984 at Trebon, Czechoslovakia.
An overview of the worlds wetlands was one of the themes of the
conference and it was decided that a useful follow-up would be a
publication on the same topic. The initial goal was to cover as
many of the worlds wetlands as possible in one volume and to have
an emphasis on wetland ecology, biota, classification, and
management. Individuals who made presentations at the Trebon confer
ence were asked to prepare chapters and the editors also solicited
other contributions. For a variety of reasons, the initial goal has
been difficult to reach, especially coverage of the entire globe,
and it has been necessary to publish the contributions in more than
one volume. Volume 1 represents the com pletion of the first phase
of the project and it covers most of the Western Hemisphere,
Australia, most of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Mediter
ranean region, and Papua New Guinea. Volume 2 will contain chapters
on Western Europe, Northern Europe, Central Europe, most of
northern and It is our hope that Volume western Asia, the Middle
East, and Indonesia. 2 will appear in the near future and, if
possible, a third volume will be published if authors can be
secured to cover areas such as the Far East, other parts of the
Indo-Pacific region, and New Zealand."
