Given the progress of the process of establishing the ecosystem perspective for the country’s wetlands at the basin level (provinces, cities, or a set of two or more provinces), the necessity of the availability of strategies and a national action plan for supporting the implemented measures in the provinces and the integrated management offices became more apparent than ever before. Moreover, it was necessary to develop the national plan of the Iranian Department of Environment for the country’s wetlands, and determine the role of other national stakeholders including the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, and others for conservation of the wetlands. Therefore, strategies and a national action plan for the conservation of wetlands were developed in a participatory process with the presence of the representatives of all national stakeholders and NGOs. After reaching a final decision, these strategies and national action plan are in the process of being approved and ratified for execution.
