Along with having its own intrinsic value, peopledepend on biodiversity for food, building materials, the air we breathe, even for enjoyment and spiritualrenewal. Humanity’s increasing global population and mechanization has intensified demands onbiodiversity whilst simplifying and fragmenting otherwise complex relationships. The loss of one speciescan lead to the demise of other species and potentially the loss of entire habitats. These issues apply tothe Ramsar Sites as much as the wider community.The task facing protected area managers is to conserve biological resources and enhance them wherepossible whilst finding new and sustainable means for economic development. International andnational policies require that biodiversity is a prime consideration of all sectors of Ramsar Sitemanagement. This task will not be easy given the uncertainties of climate change or dangers ofintensified development, for example, which will exacerbate the impacts of other pressures onbiodiversity. The best way forward is to implement an ecosystem approach to biodiversity managementwhich considers a holistic interaction between different components of a wetland area. This will bedone in cooperation with all of the Ramsar Sites biodiversity partners.Transboundary Ecotourism Guidelines 42
