This report presents a rationale to the development of a multi-disciplinary South African wetland research programme. A definition of what is meant by the term wetland is given along with a general description of what types of wetland occur in South Africa. Functions and values of wetland areas are set in perspective against the major large-scale concern of wetland degradation and loss of the ecosystem type.
