Implementing nature-based solutions, including safeguarding and restoring wetlands, holds the key to one-third of the climate solution.

We now urgently need to scale up the safeguarding and restoration of wetlands!

Denunciamos ante @ec.europa.eu @unesco.org @ramsar.org el procedimiento por el que @miteco.gob.es  @saraaagesen.bsky.social quiere quitar a Doñana su condición de marisma de agua dulce, obviando a la ciencia y con el daño que puede suponer a la biodiversidad. 

Noticia 👇
WWF denuncia ante Bruselas y la Unesco que el Gobierno quite a Doñana la condición de marisma de agua dulce
La organización ecologista, que también alerta a Ramsar, señala que el "cambio de paradigma" que implica el nuevo deslinde –considerar que el enclave es mareal– "tendrá un gravísimo e irreversible impacto sobre los ecosistemas"

🌍Connectivity occurs from local to global scales and is crucial to supporting life on Earth.

🌿Protecting, restoring and enhancing ecological connectivity underpins the survival of a wide range of species and is key to tackling the global nature and climate crises.

🌿 Wetlands are some of the most threatened habitats in the world, yet also the most vital for wildlife and people.

💧 They’re areas of land that are either permanently or seasonally inundated with water, supporting species that are adapted to live there.

Caring for nature is also caring for our community! Globally, women make up close to 40% of the agricultural labour force. Empowering women and closing gender gaps enhances the wellbeing of women and their households. This is a critical pathway towards gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Wetlands offer some of the best natural solutions to modern crises.

They can clean water by filtering pollutants, displace floodwater, shelter wildlife, improve our mental and physical wellbeing & capture climate-changing amounts of carbon.

We need wetlands now more than ever!

🌿Wetlands are some of our most productive ecosystems. Without these ecosystem services, we cannot survive.

💧They are also dynamic habitats, shaped by the water that flows through them, connecting ecosystems and social systems alike.
