Healthy people and 🌎 depend on healthy wetlands.
40% of the world’s species live or breed in wetlands, yet they are disappearing 3x faster than forests.
On today's #WorldWetlandsDay , here are 5️⃣ reasons why we must #ActForWetlands .
Celebrate this World Wetlands Day by signing the petition to save Graeme Hall Wetland, one of the last remaining wetlands in Barbados: bit.ly/3r1ukhj.
Value, manage, restore, love. #WorldWetlandsDay #ActForWetlands #Barbados #SaveBajanWetlands
Het is #WorldWetlandsDay ! Natte natuurgebieden zijn hotspots voor biodiversiteit, houden veel CO2 vast en vormen klimaatbuffers bij droogte en overstromingen. Daarom zetten wij ons in voor het vasthouden van water in onze gebieden en daarbuiten🐟🐦💦🌿
#ActForWetlands
Stop 🛑 wetland degradation and Start wetland conservation.

Today we celebrate World Wetlands Day #WWD2024 .
Wetlands provide home to 40% of the world’s biodiversity. Sadly, 1/3 of them have disappeared over the last 50 years.
We must #ActforWetlands to safeguard these ecosystems & human wellbeing. The #BiodiversityPlan is key for that.
Why #wetlands are our most valuable ecosystem for people and nature 🌍🐟💧⚕️
We need to accelerate actions to protect and #RestoreWetlands for climate action, #biodiversity and the Sustainable Development Goals.

🌍 Did you know wetlands capture CO₂ from the atmosphere? They store more #carbon than any other ecosystem on Earth.
