Before I begin, I found this short video produced by Wetlands International illustrating how wetlands can support livelihoods of farmers and people in Malawi and Zambia. Although filmed in Central Africa, the dependency of livelihoods on wetland/lake resources and the inadequate management of trade-offs are evident across the continent. Enjoy the video! I hope it is a good introduction to some specific threats wetlands and its valuable ecosystem services are facing.
In the next post, I will introduce a case study of ecosystem services delivery at Lake Victoria.
