Read More Wetland Restoration the theme for 2023 highlights the urgent need to prioritize wetland restoration.
Nearly 90% of the world’s wetlands have been degraded since the 1700s, and we are losing wetlands three times faster than forests.

World Wetlands Day is the ideal time to increase people’s understanding of these critically important ecosystems. https://www.worldwetlandsday.org/about https://www.doc.govt.nz/news/events/national-events/world-wetlands-day/ https://www.wetlandtrust.org.nz/what-we-do/world-wetlands-day/...
