An aerial photo of a segment of the Murray-Darling Basin at golden hour. We see wetlands, agricultural areas, roads and small buildings in the distance. A caption tells us: "A comprehensive, systems-based approach is essential for improved wetland conservation in the Murray–Darling Basin, say researchers from Fenner School of Environment and Society."
