Wetlands with natural flora and fauna promote ecotourism. However, wetlands' flora and fauna are threatened by the effects of climate change and human activities such as urbanization, deforestation, agriculture, overexploitation of wetland resources. Wetland ecosystems face worldwide danger, leading to the disappearance of native habitats for aquatic species. The deterioration of wetland habitats results in a decrease in groundwater levels. Contemporary spatial technology techniques, including remote sensing and GIS, are employed to evaluate and characterize wetlands. Consequently, precise mapping and monitoring of wetlands are essential to comprehend their functions, and it is urgent to evaluate the vascular plant diversity and resources of these areas before they disappear
