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.
