- Abstract in English : Wetlands in urban areas are often restored in an attempt to reduce the loss of such habitats. Unfortunately. The success, or otherwise, of programmes of restoration has rarely been systematically evaluated. Through not knowing whether programmes of restoration are successful or not, valuable resources potential continue to be wasted, wetland habitats remain degraded and the methods of restoration are not assesses for future programmes of restoration. In this paper, the concept of restoration is examined in terms of its applicability to urban wetlands, especially with respect to current definitions of restoration as applied to urban situations. KEYWORDS: wetlands, urban habitats, restoration, management.
