Descripción
The wetlands of sub-Saharan Africa have been subject to significantanthropogenic pressures, which have been exacerbated by increasinghuman population and risks associated with global climate change.Wetlands resources are especially used for agriculture, livestock,fishing, hunting, salt exploitation, mining and ecotourism. For manylocal people, waterbirds are a direct source of protein, as well as asource of financial income. However, the current exploitation of thewaterbird resource, particularly migratory species, was notsustainable. Against this background, the project developed a set ofpilot activities to ensure the sustainability of exploiting migratorywaterbirds in sites chosen among the wetlands of internationalimportance in three target countries: Chad, Egypt and Senegal.The wetlands of sub-Saharan Africa have been subject to significantanthropogenic pressures, which have been exacerbated by increasinghuman population and risks associated with global climate change.Wetlands resources are especially used for agriculture, livestock,fishing, hunting, salt exploitation, mining and ecotourism.
