Questo libro, Yala Swamp: Wetlands of a Kind, presenta prove raccolte nel corso del tempo, alcune risalenti addirittura all'epoca coloniale, per dimostrare che la bonifica della palude di Yala potrebbe essere stata, dopotutto, un falso inizio. La bonifica potrebbe non essere sostenibile né dal punto di vista ecologico né da quello economico.Le prove raccolte dai primi studi sulla bonifica, insieme a ulteriori elementi a sostegno di questa tesi, includono il fatto che l'acqua si sta riappropriando di parte delle aree originariamente bonificate per l'agricoltura, costringendo gli agricoltori ad abbandonarle. La seconda prova è il fatto che il lago Kanyaboli continui a mantenere il proprio livello idrico nonostante le dighe di contenimento costruite per deviare il fiume Yala verso l'estremità meridionale della palude e il lago Kanyaboli all'estremità opposta della palude.Alla luce di ciò, il libro fornisce prove a sostegno della conservazione della palude di Yala, in particolare come sito Ramsar. Va sottolineato fin dall'inizio che i principi di conservazione Ramsar non impediscono alle comunità che vivono nei pressi della palude di utilizzarla per il proprio sostentamento.
