This study was written by Richard T. Kingsford on assignment from the Ramsar Bureau as a briefing paper
for distribution at the First COP of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, Rome, 29 September to 10
October 1997. It is a particularly valuable effort in that it both surveys the relationships between wetland
conservation and concern for the threats of desertification and at the same time outlines the differences and
similarities between the CCD and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands
