Wetland Conservation

Wetland conservation refers to the protection and restoration of wetlands, which are areas like marshes, swamps, and bogs that are saturated with water. These ecosystems are crucial for biodiversity, serving as habitats for many plants and animals, including migratory birds. Wetlands also play a vital role in filtering water, storing floodwaters, and sequestering carbon, which helps combat climate change. Conservation efforts aim to prevent degradation from urban development, pollution, and climate change, ensuring that wetlands continue to provide their essential ecological services and remain resilient for future generations.
