Wetlands

Wetlands are areas of land where the soil is saturated with moisture either permanently or seasonally. They are characterized by the presence of water-tolerant vegetation such as marshes, swamps, and bogs. Wetlands play a crucial role in providing habitat for a diverse range of plant and animal species, as well as in regulating water flow, filtering pollutants, and storing carbon. These ecosystems are highly productive and support a wide variety of wildlife, making them important ecological zones.
