Protecting Global Wetlands, 1945 to the Present

该项目旨在提供第二次世界大战后国际湿地保护的第一次深入的环境史。该项目着眼于动物迁徙、生态系统和明智利用等关键概念，并以《拉姆萨尔公约》的重要案例研究为基础，期望在湿地保护和专业知识方面产生新的理论和应用见解，并在环境史上培育令人兴奋的新方向。预期的结果包括对湿地成为国际保护焦点的原因及其后果的更清晰的理解。这将为湿地管理者和社区带来巨大的利益，通过将竞争湿地的未来置于背景下并通过政策建议。

This project aims to provide the first in-depth environmental history of international wetlands conservation post-World War II. Focusing on the key concepts of animal migration, ecosystems, and wise use, and grounded in the important case study of the Ramsar Convention, the project expects to generate new theoretical and applied insights about wetlands conservation and expertise, and nurture exciting new directions in environmental history. Anticipated outcomes include a clearer understanding of why wetlands became a focus of international conservation and the consequences. This will bring significant benefits to wetland managers and communities by contextualising competing wetlands futures and via policy recommendations.
