Book Description:
|
In this book the authors argue for a paradigm shift in the way African wetlands are considered, arguing for an approach which is more people focused. The authors stress the need for Integrated Water Resource Management and landscape approaches. Drawing on nine empirical case studies, this book highlights the different ways in which sustainable use of wetlands has been sought, each case focusing on specific issues about wetlands, agriculture and livelihoods.
