Wetlands are Earth’s most threatened ecosystem, with 35% of the world’s wetlands lost since 1970.

Protecting them can help with global challenges such as #climate change, #biodiversity loss and food and water security.

🎉 Today we celebrate the magnificent world of wetlands!

With an estimated 4 billion people dependent on wetlands, the BirdLife Partnership is working across flyways to restore global wetlands.

🤝 Wetlands are a prime example of how nature-based solutions can tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis, as well as ensuring human wellbeing and prosperity. 💙

Did you know? Wetlands help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while also acting as a buffer against extreme weather events such as hurricanes or tsunamis.
