Research On Contractual Protection Of Wetland Resources

Wetlands are important to our natural resources, have multiple functions. Wetlands are related to the diversity of ecological landscape closely, and one of nature’s richest biological survival of mankind’s most important environment, which not only offers a variety of resources for the production of human life, but also has a huge environmental functions and efficiency, therefore, wetlands known as the "kidney of the earth", with forests, oceans, together known as the world’s three major ecosystems. China has a vast, complex geographical environment, climate and diverse, including the "Convention on Wetlands" all wetlands listed, offers a variety of great economic, ecological and social benefits, and protect the wetlands of special significance. China is the world’s rich wetland resources, large areas of the country. Our wetlands, widely distributed, significant regional differences, rich biodiversity. However, with the rapid development of China’s growing population and economy, reclamation of wetlands, excessive use of natural resources, more serious, since the 1950 s, China wetland area dropped by more than 50%, because many wetland function degradation, resulting in soil erosion and even desertification occurs, another industrial and agricultural production waste emissions, but also the 40% of wetlands have been polluted to varying degrees. Overall, China continued loss and degradation of wetlands trend has not been effectively curbed.On the issue of wetland surface facing our country focused on the transformation of overdevelopment and blind, but in the system design point of view, the lack of legislation and a single management tool is essential for these problems. Wetlands ownership decided under the existing laws and regulations, if not combined with other sources, wetlands can still be managed through this way. Managers with administrative behavior has long been positioning the role of managers, led to the most close to the wetland environment, resources, and does not meet the occupier enthusiasm, administrative measures in dealing with the issue has lagged far behind. Hence the need to protect a wide range of ways, in this way the selected contract based collaborative governance theory, the essence of that person transferring the ownership of the wetland part of the rights, other actors involved in the protection of wetland resources in the past, and to be recognized by the law. This contractual relationship out of the past dominance of the government on this issue, and the enthusiasm of the participants were mobilized, especially when the other contract for long-term living in wetlands and their surrounding agricultural producers, because they pay more attention to the survival of the environment, not malicious overdraft wetland resources or easily be destroyed, and customary and traditional long form can make the administrative deficiencies. It should be emphasized that, whether administrative or contract, can not be done alone manage and protect wetland resources. Chose contract approach, because of its characteristics able to produce a single administration means well compensated, summed up the contract approach has always been an adjunct. This is determined by our existing laws, but also the way nature of the decision itself. We hope that under the system with a variety of wetland resources can be reasonably developed and used to restore the former prosperity.
