3 Wetland Ecosystem services Wetlands are the most fragile and threatened ecosystems 64% of wetlands lost since % of freshwater plants and animals dissappeard in the last 40 years (WWF Living Planet report) Wetlands give us ecosystem services for free! Water supply & purification Erosion control Flood and drought risk reduction Food supply Recreation areas Climate change mitigation / Carbon sequestration The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment gave wetlands a value of US$15 trillion in 1997 ( SWOS at Ramsar Pre-COP Europe

4 SWOS is a service Satellite data for wetland mapping: 1. World wide available 2. Long term programs for the next 20 years 3. Historical data from 70ies 4. Weather independent (Radar data) 5. For free SWOS at Ramsar Pre-COP Europe

8 Peatland Fires in Russia, Tver After extensive peat and forest fires in 2010, affecting especially Moscow region, Russia has rewetted 65,000 ha of drained peatlands in the Moscow region (involving 100million Euro) to prevent further fires. Peat fire Landsat SWOS at Ramsar ETM (RGB), Pre-COP Europe ( USGS)

9 Russia, Tundra, Nenets Autonomous Okrug The Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO) and the Komi Republic contains the main part of frozen or permafrost peatlands in north-east Russia, these areas are considered to be the key carbon pool of the globe Melting Process, R: , G: , B: , VV polarization, descending orbit ( Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel - data 2017) SWOS at Ramsar Pre-COP Europe

28 SWOS Service Cases - Approach Definition of a service cases via the following five key elements: Users Policy context (e.g. EU Habitats Directive, Ramsar Convention, MAES) Information needs (e.g. Habitats Directive Article 17 reporting) User requirements (e.g. baseline year, spatial resolution, nomenclature) Matching SWOS products and their specifications 28

29 Service Case list 1. Integrated Risk and Water Management, Ewaso, Kenya 2. Senegal basin Wetland management policy, Senegal 3. Monitoring of water and wetlands policies, Niger basin, Mali 4. Iraqi Wetland management and restoration, Hawizeh marshes, Iraq 5. EU Water Directives, Europe 6. Habitats Directive Article 17 reporting 7. Peatland monitoring, Sweden 8. Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, example Greece 9. MAES wetland ecosystem and ecosystem service mapping, Spain 10. Assessment of land transformation to shape national wetland policies 11.

33 Service Case example 8. Ramsar Convention on Wetlands National reporting Users Ramsar convention on wetlands / NfP Policy context Annex III of the Ramsar Information Sheet Information needs User requirements SWOS products Extent mapping beyond Ramsar designated boundaries Delineate wetland and non-wetland parts of the Ramsar site and depict the wetland boundary with respect to the site s boundary Depict on a map the Ramsar wetland types Depict key hydrological features: Wetland extent in the wet and in the dry seasons. Depict land uses land cover types in the catchment(s) area 33
