➡️ 35% of the world’s wetlands have disappeared in the last 50 years.
➡️ Wetlands are being lost 3times faster than forests & human activities are driving degradation.

Let's be cognizant of the fact that well-managed & restored wetlands:
1)Revive biodiversity
2)Replenish & filter water supply
3)Store carbon
4)Help to cope with the impact of floods & storms
5)Improve livelihoods
6)Boost eco-tourism
7)Enhance quality of life
