Abstract
Wetlands have enormous value, yet their role in supporting biodiversity, carbon sequestration, supporting traditional livelihoods, and providing other ecosystem services is not widely appreciated. This is arguably even more the case with Arctic wetlands, which while making up a large portion of terrestrial area in the Arctic, are recently gaining attention from wetlands advocates such as the Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention, NGOs such as Wetlands International, and other bodies with a wetlands focus.
