🌍 22% of wetlands lost since 1970—disappearing 3x faster than forests.

Wetlands are vanishing, putting ecosystems and economies at risk. It’s time to #RestoreWetlands.

If all the water on Earth were in a bucket, only a single drop would be drinkable.😮

Yet we’re putting our water sources – rivers, wetlands and lakes – at risk. 83% of freshwater species are threatened with extinction.

Decision-makers must act for people & nature🫱🏻‍🫲🏽#RamsarCOP15

🌱 Peatlands - a vital wetland ecosystem - store 2x more carbon than forests—and emit dangerous levels of greenhouse gases when degraded.

Protecting wetlands = protecting the climate.
