Remaking Wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin, 1800 to the Present

该项目以四个案例研究地点为重点，旨在提供澳大利亚主要湿地的深入历史，特别关注塑造这些地方的不断变化和多样化的用途，知识和价值。墨累-达令盆地是澳大利亚农业、环境和社会未来正在形成的关键地点之一，通常是通过漫长的恢复过程。在这片广袤的土地上，湿地作为资源丰富和生物多样性丰富的地方脱颖而出。该项目旨在将未来的竞争愿景置于背景中，为当前的管理提供信息，开发新的权威和知识方法，并培养环境历史和人文学科令人兴奋的新方向。

Focusing on four case study sites, this project aims to provide in-depth histories of key Australian wetlands with a particular focus on the changing and diverse uses, knowledge and values that have shaped these places. The Murray–Darling Basin is one of the key sites in which Australia’s agricultural, environmental and social future is taking shape, often through drawn-out process of contestation. Within this vast area, wetlands stand out as places rich in resources as well as in biodiversity. The project aims to contextualise competing visions for the future, inform current management, develop novel approaches to authority and knowledge, and nurture exciting new directions in environmental history and the humanities.
