Wetlands are some of the most productive ecosystems on earth, playing a vital role in the water cycle and providing a wide range of benefits to humans and wildlife. However, they are increasingly under threat due to pollution, habitat loss and other human activities.

Defined as areas where water covers the soil or is present at or near the surface of the soil for all or part of the year, wetlands can be found in a variety of settings – from coastal estuaries and salt marshes to inland freshwater swamps and bogs. They provide numerous benefits to humans and the environment, including water purification, flood control, carbon sequestration and habitat for wildlife. Unfortunately, wetlands are also highly vulnerable to pollution, which can have a significant impact on the health of these ecosystems. Polluted water can alter the balance of nutrients, reduce oxygen levels and create toxic conditions for aquatic life. In addition, pollution can destroy wetland vegetation and harm the surrounding habitats.
