摘要: Ecosystem based approach (EBA) for resource management is a concerted, environmentally tuned and an integrated framework that holistically addresses the ecological character of natural resource, its societal benefit spectrum environmental functions. In this paper, EBA concept closely linked with emerging multiple use systems (MUS) while taking account environmental, economic, social factors govern ecosystems services benefits. We elucidate multi-scalar case studies to understand particularly in context wetlandscape. At global scale, Ramsar sites international importance are geospatially analyzed reference their agro-ecology biodiversity. regional agrarian inland wetlands India was re-evaluated database from recent wetland inventory. local drawing on landscape characterization economics fresh water Lake Kolleru Muthurajawela Marsh-Negombo Lagoon coastal marsh Sri Lanka, we illustrate some practical challenges balancing conservation, development needs overall well-being people. also discuss how variability geophysical characteristics site data availability confines ability simplify single complete address issues complex ecosystem such as wetlands. All levels study supported by variety earth observation geographical information system (GIS) tools. The level analysis draws socio-economic assessment
