It's #WorldWetlandsDay!

🐟Life thrives in wetlands.

These incredible ecosystems are home to a tapestry of #biodiversity on which we all depend.🌎

Let's protect them #ForNature & people.🌿 #WWD2024 #WetlandsandHumanWellbeing #WetlandsandPeople #ActforWetlands

#DYK More than 85% of wetlands area has been lost?
—@IPBES #GlobalAssessment

The loss of #wetlands impacts :
🍎 Food
💧 Water purification
🔬 Medical resources
🌱 #Biodiversity
and more.

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 ⬇️

RT @Greenpeaceafric: Analysis exposes the socio-environmental toll of industrial giants like @TotalEnergies in the pursuit of fossil fuels.

Despite 'green' claims, our findings shed light on conflicts, colonial ties, and the real price of fossil fuels.

#WorldWetlandsDay #DYK although wetlands cover only around 6% of the Earth's land surface, 40% of all plant and animal species live or breed in them?

Wetlands are the planet's most endangered ecosystem. We must shift our perspective and recognize the true value of them!

Foul 1: Charging ahead with the project despite opposition from local communities.

Foul 2: Ignoring the project's terrible climate impact.

Foul 3: Not considering alternative renewable energy sources.

It's a RED CARD for @TotalEnergies! 🛑 🛑 ♦️ ♦️ #KickTotalOutOfAFCON
