Wetlands are home to around 40% of the world’s species. Over the past 20 years, WWF has worked with countries and The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands to protect an astonishing 110 million hectares of wetlands - that’s around 165 million football fields!
Many of these sites are beacons of biodiversity. Find out more about some of these extraordinary sites and the species they protect in our report - released today at #RamsarCOP13 https://pand.as/Savingwetlands

The recent scientific report on 1.5 degrees shows how urgently we need to act to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change.
Wetlands are critical to these efforts. They are the planet’s most effective carbon sinks, particularly #peatlands. And wetlands are nature’s best defence against extreme floods, droughts and storms, which are all expected to increase as the world warms.
Healthy etlands need to be at the heart of our fight to tackle climate change. At this week’s global wetlands ...

Wetlands are often seen as wasted space to be paved or drained.
But healthy wetlands benefit us in so many ways. They provide us with water, irrigate rice paddies and other crops, support freshwater fisheries that feed tens of millions, help defend cities from floods, and provide a home for 40% of the world’s species. But these benefits are often undervalued - until they are lost.
This week, 170 countries are gathering for #RamsarCOP13 to boost global efforts to save our vanishing wetlands.

Wetlands are the most diverse ecosystems on our planet 🌎
