Description The present framework reflects the efforts deployed by the members of the Jabbul Agro-ecosystem Consultative Committee (JAES-CC) over the past years (2006-2008). It exposes the reader to:
a) The uniqueness of the Jabbul wetland ecosystem, including its biodiversity, its landscapes, its people, its cultural heritage, and the important and diverse ecosystem services provided by the Sabkha to Syrian society.
b) The current and potential threats that are putting the Sabkha biodiversity, ecosystem services, and local livelihoods at risk.
c) Recommendations for environmental governance and stakeholder cooperation to achieve integrated conservation and sustainable development of the JAES.

The framework explains the urgency to act now, rather than tomorrow, and aims to:
a) Sensitize the Syrian authorities to conserve this outstanding wetland in the Middle East for the benefit of present and future Syrian generations and the global community.
b) Stimulate the international community to contribute towards the conservation and sustainable management of Jabbul before it is irreparably damaged
