Wetlands act as nature’s water filters, purifying pollutants and sediments from our waterways, and serve as natural flood defenses by absorbing excess rainwater, reducing the risk and severity of flooding. They are biodiversity hotspots, supporting a wide array of plant and animal species, many of which are endangered or threatened. Moreover, wetlands are crucial for groundwater recharge, contributing to the sustainability of our water supplies.
