At the heart of Africa’s Congo Basin lies the world’s largest tropical peat swamp, a vital ecosystem that supports a rich diversity of animals. Protecting it is not just an environmental priority, it’s an economic and social one too! #WetlandsWednesday #WetlandsMatter

Mangroves act as natural barriers, carbon sinks and breeding grounds for countless species, including those that sustain livelihoods. Protecting and restoring mangroves is vital to securing a stable climate, resilient coasts and protecting our biodiversity. #WeNeedWetlands

We have lost 90% of our wetlands over the last century. Every drained wetland has negative effects on our climate. Their loss also reduces the natural diversity of our special wetland birds, fish, insects and plants. But we can do something about it.#WetlandsMatter
