Despite their potential, there has been a continued and rapid erosion of urban wetlands associated with climate change, city expansion and pollution. Understanding these impacts on wetland functions will be helpful in evaluating suitable management practices which remains a huge challenge for wetland managers, scientists and civil society organizations. The 3rd International Symposium on the conservation and management of Urban Wetlands is designed to initiate discussion among key stakeholders from the public, private, academia and civil society organizations in recognizing wetlands\u2019 larger benefits, addressing the threats and evaluating best practices including governance for urban wetlands. The 3rd International Symposium (ISCMW 2018) theme, \u201cIntegrated Conservation and Management of Urban Wetlands\u201d, aiming to extract new ideas and resolutions on integrated management of urban wetlands. This upcoming symposium would be a platform for a fruitful discussion among stakeholders, practitioners and conservationist to share ideas and innovative ways to conserve and manage wetlands in Sabah and Malaysia, particularly for Kota Kinabalu Wetland Ramsar Site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more info on the Symposium, kindly browse through the website here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iscmwswcs.wixsite.com\/iscmw\">\u00a0https:\/\/iscmwswcs.wixsite.com\/iscmw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF WETLANDS (ISCMW) ISCMW 2014 The 1st International Symposium on Conservation and Management of Wetlands (ISCMW 2014) with the theme \u201cSustainable Conservation and Management of Wetlands\u201d was held in 2014 and resulted in a number of resolutions particularly on the conservation of wetlands as Ramsar sites. &nbsp; ISCMW 2016 The 2nd International Symposium (ISCMW 2016) is \u201cWetlands: Connectivity, Corridors and Catchments\u201d, aimed to identify new and innovative ways to conserve wetlands, to understand the scientific basis and the importance of local stakeholders\u2019 involvement in conservation and management of wetlands.
