This leaflet promotes the Striking a Balance (SAB) approach, which seeks to address the widespread and growing pressures on\u00a0wetlands in Africa from agricultural and other uses. It focuses on the way in\u00a0which natural resources need to be valued by communities if they are to be\u00a0used sustainably. In this way the value obtained from the wetland motivates\u00a0communities to undertake management practices which will enhance and\u00a0sustain it. However, such uses have to be based on a sound understanding of\u00a0how wetlands function, especially the functional landscape approach, and how\u00a0they should be managed through community institutions.<\/p>\n
