As wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa often play a vital role in supporting the livelihood and well-being of rural populations their sustainable management is critical. In many instances however, sustainable management of these ecosystems is hindered by a lack of information. For large, inaccessible wetlands Earth Observation data may provide the only practical means of obtaining this information, especially for mapping and monitoring spatial and temporal characteristics. These issues have been addressed at priority wetland sites, vulnerable to both climatic variability and agricultural activities (both subsistence and commercial) n eight countries in southern Africa; here we report outcomes from two of the larger wetlands where increased population pressure and exploitation of resources within the wetlands and the surrounding catchments are leading to serious degradation and loss of biodiversity and inter-linked ecosystem services. A combination of GPS, GIS, aerial photographs and satellite remote sensing data at multiple scales, as well as ground based information, were used to describe the ecological characteristics of these sites, and to map the spatial distribution of the major land cover types. The maps provide information which can be used to assist managers in making decisions about future land uses in wetlands that are intensively used for agriculture and fisheries. The land cover and land use analyses will also provide the basis for livelihood assessments and management interventions.
