wetlands

Wetlands are areas where standing water collects, covering and saturating the soil. Wetlands play an important role across the globe. They act as the “Earth’s kidneys” soaking up and filtering pollutants, which gives us clean water to drink. They are also home to diverse wildlife and provide flood protection during storms. Because of their important functions, it is important that we work to conserve our wetlands.
