Wetlands are some of the critical environmental assets that need to be conserved and protected for their ecological and socioeconomic benefits! Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) is developing a wetlands strategy for GKMA and we are glad to be part of this process kudos Flavia Zabali Musisi and team!

High-resolution satellite images can be insanely expensive to buy. So here's a list of free datasets you can access. These datasets can be used to build foundation models, super-resolution models, or for segmentation.
