are therefore free to choose how to provide long-term protection against
processes or activities which would alter the wetland’s character. Methods
vary according to a country’s legal system (including customary law) and
patterns of wetland ownership. They include designation of wetlands as
protected areas under conservation legislation, conferring protection under
land-use planning rules and using incentive measures to promote voluntary
conservation. Often, a wetland’s natural properties result from decades
or centuries of interaction and use by indigenous and local communities:
in such cases, replacing traditional management approaches with public
agency controls may defeat the very object of wise use. In pristine, highly
sensitive or seriously overexploited wetlands, on the other hand, wise use
might actually take the form of “no use” (prohibition of human use or
access).
