Wetland management modeling in the frame of Ramsar convention

Abstract

This article presents, as a novelty, a proposal for management modeling of a tropical wetland in the frame of Ramsar convention. The model is based on the combination of the components and criteria established in the 4th Strategic Plan 2016–2024 of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands with Bloom’s Taxonomy. The results of the qualitative analysis contributed to establish the scope of the degree of commitment of Latin countries through the proposed Wetland Management Strategic Plan (WMSP) and its implementation demonstrated at the 13th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties. The proposed wetland management model constitutes a tool to contribute with an integral wetland management model index, resulting in the weighting of the indexes associated with the Bloom Taxonomy in five levels that include knowledge, comprehension, application, evaluation and creation, which are influenced by the implementation in the Latin countries of targets linked to the goals of a Ramsar-WMSP.
