• W2754187233 abstract "Wetlands have been described as “the kidneys of the landscape, and as “biological supermarkets”.However, more than half of the world`s wetlands have been lost and/or degraded. This has causedalteration of vegetation, biodiversity and productivity in wetlands. Understanding local people’ssocial values of wetlands and traditional mechanisms of managing natural resources forms thebasis of conserving them. This study reviews the social valuation of functions and servicesprovided by wetlands. The main objective of this study was to come up with a social value forIntunjambili wetland, which is located in Matobo district of Matabeleland South Province (SouthEast of Bulawayo) in Zimbabwe.The study specifically sought to: i) map the extent of Intunjambiliwetland and its Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) of 1980 and 2015; ii) assess the ability ofIntunjambili wetland to deliver particular wetland services; iii) identify resource use behavior ofhouseholds in Intunjambili wetland; and iv) determine the value of Intunjambili wetland services.The extent of Intunjambili wetland and LULC change was sought through a comparison of imagesfrom GIS and maps drawn by the local communities. The results from the mapping exerciseindicated that vegetation cover has decreased over time and land uses have changed. A rapidassessment of the mapped area using the WET EcoServices Assessment tool was conducted toassess Intunjambili wetland ability to deliver the eight selected services. From the eight functionsassessed, results showed a rank in the following order from high to low potential respectively:provision of water supply for direct human use, provision of harvestable natural resources,education and research, provision of cultivated foods, stream flow regulation, tourism andrecreation, cultural significance and maintenance of biodiversity. A household survey and focusgroup discussions were also conducted with an aim to determine resource use behavior ofhouseholds and the value of these uses. These indicated a variation in resource use behaviour.Those that live on the wetland, value the wetland for the provision of water which sustains thelivelihood of vegetable gardening whilst those that do not live on the wetland, value the wetlandfor the provision of water for their livestock, grazing land for their livestockand natural resources.Results from this study indicated that the wetland is being highly used for agriculture; it isgradually degrading and soon will not be unable to sustain its functions it is currently offering.Thisstudy recommends the application of the ecosystem approach will help to reach a balance ofconservation; sustainable use; and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of theutilization of the wetland resources.,WaterNet" @default.
