World Wetland Day

World Wetland Day, observed annually on February 2nd, raises awareness about the importance of wetlands—such as marshes, lakes, and swamps—that support biodiversity, filter water, and help regulate climate. Celebrating this day emphasizes the need to protect these vital ecosystems from threats like pollution, draining, and development. Wetlands provide essential services, including habitat for many species, flood control, and water purification, benefiting both the environment and human communities. By highlighting their value, World Wetland Day encourages conservation efforts to ensure wetlands are preserved for future generations.
