World Wetland Day | Great Plains Conservation

🌿 💧Wetlands are the cradle of life.🦆🐊
A sanctuary for millions of species.
A gift of nature that gives us clean water, fertile lands, and protection from nature’s fury.
Wetlands breathe life into our world.
Despite covering only 6% of the Earth's land, they shelter 40% of all plant and animal species. They shield us from floods, replenish our water, and fight climate change.
Yet, we are losing them-faster than forests, faster than we can recover.
And with every wetland lost, we don’t just lose water. We lose biodiversity, climate resilience, and the delicate balance of life itself.
🌍 This World Wetlands Day, let’s not stand by.
✔ Protect.
✔ Restore.
✔ Conserve.
Because when we save wetlands, we don’t just save nature-we save ourselves.

Beautifully stated! It’s so important to protect our wetlands and when we do we protect so much more.
