Wetlands provide vital ecosystem services such as water purification, flood control, and climate moderation among others, which enhance environmental quality, promote public health, and contribute to risk reduction. The biggest threat to wetlands is posed by human activities which transform wetlands, often for short-term consumptive benefits. This paper aimed to classify and map recent land cover and provide a multi-temporal analysis of changes from 2002 to 2014 in the Nakivubo wetland through which wastewater from Kampala city drains to Lake Victoria in Uganda. The paper contributes through spatially congruent change maps showing site-specific land cover conversions. In addition, it gives insight into what happened to the wetlands, why it happened, how the changes in the wetlands affect the communities living in them, and how the situation could be better managed or regulated in future.

I think people around or using them should be stopped by their governments to avoid the effects and to save their lives

That shouldn't be generalised because some countries knows the benefits of Conservativing wetlands where as some countries such as Uganda, it's government officials that destroys wetlands due to their illegal occupations in gazetted areas such as in wetlands, forest reserves to name but a few.

People are encroaching the wetlands because most them have not been senstized the usefulness of these wetlands.people are the main cause of seasons changing all the time. Government has not put in
place laws which governs and protects wetlands from destructions . As government ,there is a need to introduce a new technology of using fuel which is friendly to the environment.
