“…An abundance of wetlands is found in Africa. Particularly, Congo River Swamps, Inner Niger Delta, Sudd of the Upper Nile and the Okavango Delta are typical examples in sub-Saharan Africa (Beuel et al, 2016;Rebelo et al, 2010;Sakané et al, 2011). Ethiopia is also endowed with wetlands that are distributed over an array of landscape features along the valley bottoms, lakes and floodplains (Gebresllassie et al, 2014).…”

“…Particularly, wetlands conversion to other land uses has accelerated wetland size depletion (Fallah & Zamani, 2017;Wilen & Tiner, 1993). Thus, wetland degradation is a major environmental challenge (Beuel et al, 2016).…”

“…Moreover the DPSIR approach allows a comprehensive mapping of the agriculture -wetland interactions identifying complex causal interrelations, multiple options and levels of response (Wood and van Halsema, 2008). There are a number of Sub Saharan African studies looking at wetland-agricultural interactions and their associated ecosystem services (Beuel et al, 2016;McCartney et al, 2010;Wood and van Halsema, 2008;McCartney and Houghton-Carr, 2009;Kotze et al, 2012). These studies are mainly conducted at the wetland scale and require a detailed on-site survey, always telling a unique local wetland story.…”
