【 摘 要 】

Wetland represents an important type of ecosystem that supports the development of human society. As a unique category of wetland ecosystem, plateau wetlands play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and providing ecosystem functions and services. The current study focuses on five major aspects that are closely related to the protection and management of plateau wetlands in Yunnan Province, China, including wetland monitoring and assessment, ecological restoration practice, the establishment of protection and management system, cross-sector communication and cooperation, and the development of public education programs. Also, based on lessons from successful experiences in wetland protection and management on a national and international scale, as well as an analysis of current situation and existing problems in current practice of protecting plateau wetland in Yunnan Province, we put together some suggestions to help protect and manage these precious wetlands in Yunnan from the perspective of sustainable development.
