Wetlands Conservation
Wetlands conservation involves protecting and restoring areas where water covers the soil, either permanently or seasonally. These ecosystems, which include marshes, swamps, and bogs, are vital for biodiversity, providing habitat for many species of plants and animals. They also play a crucial role in water filtration, flood control, and carbon storage.
Efforts in wetlands conservation often include legal protections, habitat restoration projects, and community education. Organizations like the Ramsar Convention promote the sustainable use of wetlands worldwide. By conserving these areas, we help maintain ecological balance and support the livelihoods of communities that depend on wetland resources.
