Wetlands of Ethiopia edited by Yilma D. Abebe & Kim Geheb

Wetlands of Ethiopia: Proceedings of a Seminar on the Resources and Status of Ethiopia’s Wetlands is a highly specialized and academically important environmental studies publication issued by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2003. Edited by Yilma D. Abebe and Kim Geheb, this work forms part of the respected IUCN Wetlands and Water Resources Programme Blue Series and presents a collection of papers and discussions focused on the conservation, ecological importance, management, and sustainable use of Ethiopian wetland systems.

Wetlands of Ethiopia offers valuable insight into one of Africa’s most ecologically significant yet historically under-documented natural resources. Covering wetland biodiversity, hydrology, agricultural pressures, environmental policy, local community interaction, and conservation strategies, the book serves as an important reference for researchers, conservationists, environmental scientists, African studies scholars, development practitioners, and students of ecology and geography.

Wetlands of Ethiopia reflects a multidisciplinary approach and provide a snapshot of environmental thinking and conservation priorities in Ethiopia during the early 2000s. Works relating to East African wetlands and natural resource management remain increasingly sought after, particularly publications with limited regional print runs such as this IUCN edition.

Wetlands of Ethiopia is an excellent addition to collections focusing on African environmental history, wetland conservation, sustainable development, hydrology, ecology, and East African natural resource studies. Scarce in the South African market and desirable for both institutional and specialist private collections.
