The paper presents the challenges associated with the conservation and protection of the Sudd wetlands and discusses potential measures, which include stakeholder participation, capacity building and wetland inventory/mapping, to deal with the challenges.: Historical empirical water level data on Lake Tana is used to calibrate high resolution altimeter data. The relationship is subsequently used to study long-term water level fluctuations of Lake Tana using remote sensing data.
