Abstract: Known as the "kidney of the earth", wetland is one of the most important living environments for human beings. On the basis of analyzing the concept of wetland ecological compensation, the policies and practices of wetland ecological compensation at domestic and abroad have been systematically sorted out, and the compensation carriers, methods, financing, standards, models and performance evaluation have been summarized. Moreover, the following main existing problems of wetland ecological compensation are proposed: theoretical research lags behind practice, system design is lacking, channels of compensation funds are relatively simple, compensation standards in different areas are significantly different, and the corresponding supervision and effectiveness evaluation mechanisms are seriously lacking. The priority research directions of wetland ecological compensation are prospected: (1) strengthening the theoretical research on wetland ecological compensation; (2) accelerating the study of wetland ecological compensation system; (3) expanding the pilot practice study on wetland protection; (4) strengthening the assessment of wetland ecological compensation supervision and compensation effectiveness. At the same time absorb and summarize the scientific and effective compensation models at domestic and abroad to promote the construction of market-oriented and diversified ecological protection compensation mechanisms in China at this stage. This study can provide scientific basis and decision-making reference for wetland ecological compensation and restoration.
