Target 15: By 2021, loss of wetlands is significantly reduced with the view to ensure ecosystem services and to support climate change adaptation.

Thailand does not have specific legislation for management of wetlands, including those of international, national or local importance, and instead employs exiting laws to regulate activities and prevent encroachment for various usages and development schemes that may adversely impact the wetland ecosystems and their functions as catchments and providers of water supply. An inventory carried out for wetlands at all levels has been accompanied by surveillance and monitoring of all possible threats to wetlands.
