Global Wetland Assessment

The Global Wetland Assessment is a comprehensive review of the world’s wetlands—areas like marshes, swamps, and peatlands that are vital for biodiversity, water purification, and climate regulation. It analyzes their current conditions, how much has been lost or degraded, and identifies threats such as urbanization and pollution. The goal is to provide policymakers and conservationists with accurate information to better protect and restore these crucial ecosystems, ensuring they continue to support wildlife, store carbon, and benefit human societies worldwide.
