Winter wetlands may look frozen and lifeless, but they’re hard at work! ❄️🌿 They prevent floods, clean water, and shelter wildlife. 🐸💧But we’re losing them fast—over 72% are already gone in Southern Ontario. We need to protect what’s left! Learn more: bit.ly/4bqH4E5

Wetlands link mountains to oceans, span national borders, connect different habitats and facilitate the movement of species. They’re vital for maintaining genetic diversity and healthy populations. worldwetlandsday.org #WetlandsWednesday

Healthy wetlands are essential for: 💧 Clean drinking water 🌿 Nutrients for fertile fields 🐟 Freshwater fish that feed millions 🏝️ Sediment that keeps deltas above rising seas

Did you know wetlands store more carbon than forests? But better data is needed to protect them. CIFOR-ICRAF is working to improve Forest Reference Emission Level (FREL) for wetlands, helping countries make informed decisions to fight climate change. 🔗: bit.ly/4018oVv

... or you know, stop paving over wetlands, nature's best solution against flooding.

The Greater Toronto Area is seriously flooding once again in what is likely to be our wettest summer on record. I am once again **begging** Canadian municipalities to think about stormwater as more basements and roadways and infrastructure drowns. thenarwhal.ca/opinion-ontari…
