Conservation agriculture for aquatic wildlife in dams and wetlands

本项目旨在调查农业大坝管理策略的能力，以同时支持自然保护和农业生产。该项目期望通过利用确定放牧与湿地生境质量之间相互依存关系的实验，在保护生物学和可持续农业领域产生新的知识。预期的成果包括根据管理战略支持水生野生动物和畜牧生产的双重能力来评估管理战略的框架。显著的好处包括通过改善对湿地和农场水坝的管理以及认识到被低估的保护资源来提高生产力。

This project aims to investigate the capacity of farm dam management strategies to simultaneously support nature conservation and agricultural production. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of conservation biology and sustainable agriculture by using experiments that identify the interdependence of cattle grazing and habitat quality of wetlands. Anticipated outcomes include a framework for evaluating management strategies in terms of their dual capacity to support aquatic wildlife and livestock production. Significant benefits include increased productivity through the improved management of wetlands and dams on farms and the recogniton of undervalued conservation resources.
