Poster describing integrated watershed analyses for the upper Kafue River watershed, Zambia. The poster describes results of a household survey of riparian communities, spatial assessment of human population density change, remotely-sensed forest cover analyses, fisheries assessments using existing data, and climate forecasts. It integrates on-the-ground research with existing historical data and remote spatial analyses to understand patterns across the watershed, e.g. highest forest cover loss where human population has increased the most and decreasing trends in forest cover and length of fish captures, to develop a monitoring and management plan that is robust and resilient to expected changes in climate.
