When was the last time you truly marveled at a swamp? Or felt grateful for the soggy marshes in your town?
These aquatic landscapes are wetland ecosystems, and while they might be often overlooked, they are nature’s quiet superheroes: filtering our water, sheltering biodiversity, capturing carbon and even protecting communities from storms and floods.
But although these ecosystems are increasingly being recognized for the benefits they provide, they’re also being lost or degraded faster than we can protect them.
In fact, wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests. Some of their biggest threats include urban expansion, pollution and the climate crisis.
And yet, as extreme weather becomes increasingly common, and cities face growing flood risks, we need wetlands to mitigate these threats more than ever. So, how can we protect our planet’s ‘kidneys’?
In episode 4 of TalkLandscape, we get the inside scoop from the frontlines of wetland conservation and restoration. From Indigenous-led restoration projects to nature-based urban planning, we explore how communities worldwide are working with wetlands to build resilience.
