Covering 12 mountainous regions ranging from medium to high altitudes, Wetlands of Mountainous Regions provides detailed information on the world's most important wetlands and wetland types across Eurasia and the Americas as well as their current and potential biological resources. Each wetland is analyzed by a regional expert.
Written with UN sustainable development goals in mind, Wetlands of Mountainous Regions includes information on:

- The importance in sustaining local economic livelihoods of each wetland region by providing food resources as well as recreational opportunities
- Wetland ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, water filtration, nutrient retention, and flood mitigation
- Threats to the integrity of each wetland region as well as management strategies and practical conservation and restoration measures
