#Caithness #Sutherland #Scotland #Flowcountry #WorldWetlandsDay the utmost north of the UK has the UKs most unique and enviromentally important habitat the worlds largest intact (so far) expanse of blanket bog ,
But it needs protecting until it has the protection of Unesco ,please dont assume if you see images of Caithness and Sutherland that its deforested ,or over grazed ,blanket bogs are meant to be tree less and they are not barren they are rich in tiny species

#worldwetlandsday is over, but there is still much work for us to do. #today this story came out in The Pointer in which I am interviewed about #wetland #conservation. https://thepointer.com/article/2023-02-03/save-ontario-wetlands-aims-to-provide-crucial-resources-while-conservation-authorities-are-under-attack-by-ford-government

Retweet if you think every day should be #WorldWetlandsDay. Without these ecosystems we would have more drought, less clean water, stronger coastal storm impacts, and biodiversity would be far far less interesting and beautiful.

Seven benefits of restoring #wetlands.

Back home we have a nice wetland the army corps of engineers deemed protected. It's beautiful. Home to lots of species. #WorldWetlandsDay

For #WorldWetlandsDay, take a vicarious walk with me in my local wetland. I often go there for #nature #photography (the diversity of #birds delights me), but these ecosystems are also critical for a healthy #environment.

Today was #WorldWetlandsDay so here is a bird that resides in the marshy places around my area, the great egret. This piece was done back in 2020 in soft pastels on a textured paper. Egrets are fascinating to draw with their long beaks, curved necks and beautiful white plumage.

In the meantime #wetlands are disappearing fast. 35% gone in the last 50 years.

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

Wetlands deserve protection.

Today is the #WorldWetlandsDay. I can only hope that this place, which I pass many times on my way to work, will still be so wet in the coming years.

I wish I had more great #worldwetlandsday content for you #today, but I’m sick and struggling to make it through the work day. I did get to #teach a virtual classroom of 4th year students about how we do conservation science and I spent the afternoon in a grad student’s proposal defence helping her make her #wetlands research as impactful as possible. But I’m pretty burnt out and sick folks 😢. We have so much work to do to #SaveOntarioWetlands

In honor of #WorldWetlandsDay, learn about the Natural Valley Storage Area!

This ~8,100-acre network of protected wetlands across sixteen communities has the power to store floodwaters + create habitat for fish and wildlife.
