💧 slow global warming
💧 protect us from disaster risks
💧 are home to 40% of the world’s species
💧 are an important source of freshwater
💧 help us achieve the #SDGs

Today's #newsletter is about fluddles and what they mean for shorebirds. Here's an excerpt: "The entire landscape used to welcome shorebirds, and it provided abundant food for hundreds of thousands of years. But, over the past 300 years, we have recklessly remade the landscape to suit our purposes, and we have left very little habitat for wildlife." #forwetlands #shorebirds #waders #birding #conservation #agriculture #restoration #habitat https://www.twibchicago.com/p/birdwatchers-and-shorebirds-both

New video from earlier this week. Our unusual February rain filled up the wetlands in northwest #Chicago. The ducks, mostly Mallards, also came along. #waterfowl #mallard #forwetlands #wetland

We've lost 90% of our wetlands in #illinois, but gratitude for the many people quietly working to restore wetlands in the state. #worldwetlandsday #forwetlands #generationrestoration

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay. I'm a researcher working on peatlands. Every day is World Wetlands Day for me. #GenerationRestoration #ForWetlands

WETLANDS are not wastelands! 💧

💨 They are the planet’s greatest carbon stores
🐟 Important biodiversity hotspots
🌊 Water purifiers
💙 Vital to human life

Protecting #wetlands is promoting healthier ecosystems for people and the planet 🌍

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Here's our new interpretation board about the wetland at Sarratt Bottom!

👉If rainforests are the lungs of the planet then wetlands are part of the lifeblood.
👉Wetlands are teeming with biodiversity and a fantastic carbon store, essential in flood protection.

Wetlands are vital for humanity because they

🔵 Store more carbon than forests
🔵 Help shield coastal communities in extreme weather
🔵 Are a source of livelihoods

Conserving and restoring wetlands is key to achieving the #GlobalGoals through protecting biodiversity and countering the climate crisis.

Here are the different #GenerationRestoration actions being taken #ForWetlands.

#WorldWetlandsDay

February 2 is #WorldWetlandsDay, a day for action to help restore damaged or degraded wetlands, and a day to educate on the importance of wetlands. Please consider #Volunteering to help #Cleanup or just visit nearby #Wetlands. These are critical #Habitats that help #Clean water, #MitigateFlooding and #StoreCarbon.

The World Wetlands Day website is https://www.worldwetlandsday.org

Below, an image of the #Marsh wetland at #OxleyNatureCenter, and a snippet from the WorldWetlandsday website on what you can do. At Oxley, volunteers and staff are actively engaged in wetland #Remediation and #Restoration as well as providing #WetlandAccess and #Education
