Today's #WorldWetlandsDay spotlights our most vulnerable ecosystem.

Nearly 50% of coastal wetlands have been lost over the last 100 years, as a result of the combined effects of localised human pressures, sea level rise, warming & extreme climate events. bit.ly/SRYRpt23

RT @vickihird: the importance of pollinators - great pic from @IPBES

🐝 #Pollinators are responsible for much more than food-crops. From biofuels to medicines, we rely on pollinators in much of our daily lives.

Check out a few facts about pollinators from the @IPBES #PollinationAssessment ⬇️
