“…Research approaches often integrated land use and land cover changes with stakeholder surveys and interviews to assess changes in use for recreational and economic activities over time (D'Souza & Nagendra, 2011; Das & Basu, 2020; Hara et al, 2018; Hettiarachchi, Athukorale, et al, 2014a). A combination of geographic information system and statistical tools was also applied to quantify ecosystem services use and analyse factors influencing stakeholders' preferences and attitudes (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2006; Das & Basu, 2020).…”

1. Urban expansion is a major threat to diversity, especially in rapidly developing tropical countries where urban areas are growing at great pace and protection is limited.2. We conducted a systematic review of published research on the ecology of lentic habitats in tropical urban areas. The review focused on understanding: (1) how much is currently known about the biodiversity of these habitats; (2) whether this knowledge is biased towards certain taxonomic groups and/or geographic areas;(3) what is known about the factors influencing their diversity; and (4) which ecosystem services urban lentic habitats provide. The review aimed to establish whether existing knowledge is sufficient to help guide conservation and provide evidence to policy makers of the importance of conserving tropical urban wetlands.3. We found 64 papers that addressed questions about the diversity and/or distribution of lentic ecosystems within tropical urban areas. Papers came from 15 countries, although almost half (45%) were from India; relatively few countries from Southeast Asia, tropical Africa, or South America were represented in the literature.

“…In the South Asian context, although few critical wetland valuation studies have been conducted and mainly in India and on larger wetlands that are either Ramsar or nationally important sites (Chopra & Saroj, 2004; Verma et al, 2001; Prasher et al, 2006; Bandyopadhyay, et al, 2007; Wattage & Mardle, 2008), but many important smaller urban wetlands and even large rural wetlands are yet to come under valuation. These wetlands are very important for the lives of millions of people directly or indirectly and are fast getting deteriorated.…”

This study estimates economic values of changes in variegated ecological, social and economic attributes of dominant environmental resource (viz., Dal Lake), proffers to its key stakeholders through choice experiment design selecting relevant attributes for better management. In addition to the conditional logit model, the random logit model and the random logit model with interactions are calculated to account for the heterogeneity of the public prospects for the different purposes of the wetland.Willingness to pay for the selected attributes like preservation of wetland biodiversity turned out to be ₹18.47
