	Regional overview for Asia
		Asia, with its majority of developing countries, accounts for up to 60% of the world population, but with limited resources, and the pressure of development on the wetland ecosystem is the greatest in the world.
		Asia has long history of human intervention with wetland resources, which helped to form a particular culture in which people care for wetland resources for their survival.
		In general, Asia is not performing well in the indicators under this objective, except for the indicator on public participation in decision-making, for which it was reported by 7 out of 12 Parties that they have implemented it, with an additional three Parties having achieved it partially.
