Wetlands in drylands sounds like a contradiction, but describes the lakes, marshes and other wet areas that provide important ecosystem services in dry regions. Why are these wetlands so important, what threatens them and how can they best be managed? This article uses examples including the Okavango Delta and Macquarie Marshes to provide some answers.
