Résumé

Mediterranean wetlands have been facing pressure from extensive urbanisation , agriculture and human activities over the last 100 years.

The Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory and the Tour du Valat have been working on mapping and monitoring the changes of Mediterranean wetlands over the last 4 decades using earth observation and satellite data.

In continuation of The GlobWetland II, the current analysis is aimed to update the maps of wetlands in 27 Mediterranean countries. As part of  the Internship, we have done mapping and analysis of 112 wetland sites in 8 different countries of South-western Europe, North Africa and Balkans. Interesting results are found with significant changes over time.
