Funded Activity Summary
Conservation agriculture for aquatic wildlife in dams and wetlands. 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.Funded Activity Details
