🌿 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!

#DYK that more than 40% of invertebrate pollinators, including bees & butterflies are at risk of going extinct?
Safeguarding pollinators is inseparable from protecting wetlands. By conserving these vital ecosystems, we ensure the survival of countless pollinator species. #IPI25

Mangroves are among the planet's most valuable ecosystems. They shield coastlines from storms and store massive amounts of carbon.
🐟 For many people, they are a source of food and livelihoods.
🌊 Yet despite their importance, mangroves are disappearing at alarming rates.

High-altitude wetlands (HAW) are critical for ensuring water, food, climate and livelihood security.
These ecosystems serve as vital habitats for migratory species and high-altitude biodiversity that rely on these HAW to complete their annual migration cycles.
