Linkages between changes in land cover (use) patterns, local perceptions and livelihoods in a coastal wetland system in Sri Lanka by Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali, Finlayson, C. Max, Nagabhatla, N., Diphoorn, Luuk

“…This may be linked to whether the land cover types are directly accessed and used in the household livelihood system, and to the geographic location of the land cover types in relation to the village. The findings indicate the usefulness of adopting this type of approach where both conservation and development needs are considered to address environmental concerns and related livelihood issues in wetlands.…”
