摘要

Addressing the wicked problem of how to conserve wetlands while maximising global food production requires an understanding of farmer perspectives on wetlands and wetlands management. A systematic mapping protocol identified 59 investigations of farmer perceptions of wetlands conservation over the past 50 years, indicating that there is a relatively small, but growing, globally distributed body of research that has investigated what farmers think, feel and do about wetlands. Most investigations focused on crop farming contexts and not livestock grazing or ranching. Most investigations employed quantitative research designs. Studies tended to be applied research that addressed context-specific issues that were not informed by social science theory and lacked details necessary for generalisation, transferability, and replication. Much of what is known about farmers’ perspectives and actions about wetland management is based on their attitudes and not on farmers’ beliefs about what is desirable or about the values or norms that may underpin their behaviours. The impacts of researcher-led interventions have not generally been measured, which indicates that there is a lack of evidence about “what works” for wetland management and conservation in agricultural settings.
