wetlands conservation

Wetlands conservation involves protecting and maintaining areas like marshes, swamps, and estuaries that are vital for biodiversity, water filtration, flood control, and climate regulation. These ecosystems support diverse plant and animal species, filter pollutants from water, help manage flooding by absorbing excess water, and store carbon to mitigate climate change. Conservation efforts often include legal protections, restoring damaged wetlands, and sustainable land use practices. Preserving wetlands ensures healthy ecosystems, benefits local communities, and maintains the natural balance essential for environmental resilience and human well-being.
