In pristine landscapes, management would be unnecessary to sustain natural wetland conditions but in highly humanized landscapes, management is needed to make wetlands more natural, more productive, and less likely to be developed. Wetland management apparently was developed in the early 1900s from prehistoric technology used to drain wetlands. Management drove research, and vice versa, initially to benefit ducks but to benefit multiple wetland functions by the end of the 1900s. Management and its associated protection from direct and indirect human actions are expensive. Thus, income from forestry, wildlife, fishing and carbon credits might partly support management and slow wetland losses. Such income will only delay the inevitable, however, if human populations do not stabilize.
