Remembering urban wetlands through historical ecology

Rebecca Hamilton (University of Sydney)

Australian conservation targets commonly focus on preserving a vaguely defined ecological baseline, often conceptualized as a pre-European, ‘natural’ state. For instance, environmental legislation protects ‘Endangered Ecological Communities’ (EECs), which purportedly represent remnants of naturally occurring biota. However, EECs are often classified without long-term data, making it unclear as to whether the community being protected is indeed ‘natural’. We use history, ecology, and geography to map the long-term socio-environmental evolution of Sydney’s freshwater wetland EECs, which were once key features of Australia’s biggest city. Our data show that today’s remnant wetlands are different from those of the early 1800s, highlighting how quickly landscapes can be misremembered. We encourage a reimagining of these wetlands not as snapshots of the past, but as human-impacted places with educational, ecological and historical importance. Our work emphasises the relevance of long-term, cross-disciplinary data for effective conservation, while highlighting limitations in post-colonial land management.

Rebecca Hamilton joined the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney as a Lecturer in 2023. Prior to this, she held research fellowships at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthrolopology in Jena, and the Australian National University in Canberra. She works at the intersection of the physical and social sciences, and is interested in using long-term environmental data to better understand relationships between people, landscapes and climate, to support decision making in a rapidly changing world.
