Why wetlands?

Wetlands are some of the most important ecosystems on the planet. They help combat climate change, support 40% of the world’s biodiversity, and provide nearly all our freshwater.

But unfortunately, we have lost 35% of the world’s wetlands in the last five decades and we continue to lose them at a rate faster than we’re losing forests. The loss and degradation of wetlands has a chain reaction, driving biodiversity loss, stressing food and water supplies, and exacerbating the impacts of floods, droughts and wildfires.

The biggest threat to wetlands comes from humans. Agriculture and infrastructure development are the main drivers of wetland loss. We have lost vital wetland connectivity through dams, dykes, drains, ditches, and deforestation. They have altered the hydrology of wetlands, sometimes irreversibly so.
