Striking a Balance: maintaining seasonal wetlands in central Southern Africa

The Wetlands and Poverty Reduction Project of Wetlands International, funded by a grant from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairds, has five demonstration Projects. “Striking a Balance” is one of these five projects. It builds on the research outlined below on dambos and other seasonal wetlands, and seeks to explore how to develop functional wetland catchment landscapes which can sustain ecosystem regulating services and provisionary sources.
