Can human-created wetlands sustain urban freshwater biodiversity?

The Swan Coastal Plain was once covered by wetlands, but fewer than 30% of these natural wetlands remain. Many natural wetlands are seasonal — drying out in summer and autumn. Others are perennial, containing water year round.

Will our drying climate lead to the extinction of Perth's wetland fauna?
Published 2016
2016 Research Findings: Bulletin 5.08 Ecology, People & Environment
