“…This carbon can be lost to the atmosphere when these landscapes are disturbed or degraded. Approximately 47 percent of the world's tropical peatlands (about 21 million ha) and 23 percent of its mangroves (about 3 million ha) are found in Indonesia, where these ecosystems have faced significant pressure from unsustainable land-use practices since the 1980s (Murdiyarso et al 2012). It is therefore imperative that these tropical wetlands are properly credited in the national forest monitoring and measurement mechanism and that efforts are made to integrate them into the national policies.…”

CIFOR infobriefs provide concise, accurate, peer-reviewed information on current topics in forest research Global Comparative Study on REDD+ story of change CIFOR's science on wetlands for Indonesian measurement, reporting and verification and forest reference emission level development Key messages• Tropical forested wetlands, including peatlands and mangroves, provide critical environmental services and store 3-5 times more carbon than other tropical forests.• However, because these ecosystems are under significant pressure from unsustainable land-use practices, they must be credited in the national forest monitoring and measurement mechanism and integrated into the national policy agenda.• In January 2016, the Government of Indonesia submitted a forest reference emission level (FREL) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat, and is currently in the process of finalizing its second FREL.• To achieve the intended improvement in the FREL, CIFOR has played an active role by co-producing relevant data and knowledge products, building capacity among key personnel and stakeholders, and creating a platform for communication, engagement and outreach at national and international levels.

“…Furthermore, although wetlands are the most productive ecosystem in Ethiopia [35], currently they are highly endangered. Because of the unwise use of the natural resources in the wetlands, and low attention and perception towards the management and protection of wetlands, the ecological condition of the Ethiopian wetlands are deteriorating over time [36]. Moreover, although wetlands play a major role in the livelihood of many people in Ethiopia through providing socioeconomic benefits and environmental services, these natural resources are under a growing and severe threats and becoming an environmental disaster [37].…”

Ethiopia is endowed with different types of wetlands, which have several ecosystem services. However, the social, economical and ecological benefits of these wetlands are not utilized properly and sustainably, as of their potential, due to several anthropogenic and natural factors. This review showed that the wetland degradation is growing at alarming rate in many parts of wetlands, and if this trend continues without any mitigation measures, the wetland ecosystems will lose their function, biodiversity and restoration potential. In spite of these facts, this study strongly suggests that it is possible to reverse the degradation of Ethiopian wetlands by adopting sustainable wetland management, which is based on socio-ecological approach. Accordingly, it is very important to harmonize intersectional plan among relevant institutions, strengthen the capacity of institutions, conduct an intensive awareness creation and problem solving researches, find an alternative livelihood options to the local community, and involve all relevant stakeholders and respective decision makers in wetland management practices..
