Wetlands are an important part of the ecology ... they are a sanctuary for many fish, birds, and plants, and they are also a place that 'holds' the runoff from big rainstorms ... in places where the wetlands have been reclaimed, there is now frequent flooding which destroys the lives of the people who live there. Wetlands are also a 'breeding ground' for birds and animals ... and without wetlands, some places now never 'see' these beautiful creatures. The farther we are from the 'creatures of the wild' the WORSE life gets on earth for ALL of us. THAT is why it is IMPORTANT to save wetlands.

Wetlands, in addition to holding many unique animals and plants, prevent flooding by acting like a sponge in heavy rains. Wetlands also filter and purify water. And in areas like New Orleans, if the wetlands were preserved and expanded, the threat of hurricane damage and the city sinking below sea level could be reduced greatly.

Wetlands are an important part of the Earth's ecosystem.

They provide resting places for migratory birds in the spring and fall. They are the habitat for many species of birds and fish that exist nowhere else. Without any wetlands, those species would die out.

And, because of the above reasons, they make absolutely fantastic places to fish and hunt!! Within the bounds of conservation and species preservation, of course!

Mainly to protect our fresh water supplies. The Flora and Fauna of our wetlands are integral to the maintenance of a usable supply of clean water for everyone. Have a look around in this site. A lot to learn is available.

aside from boring animals and plants, wetlands are a huge influence on watersheds.

Wetlands are a natural form of flood control, where a heavy rain event is slowed down from going immediately down the drainage, and spread out over time. They also generate anoxic environments, which make for super good topsoil.

Helps against pollution, even if only minutely.

Yes, saves many animals -- near-extinct, endangered, or just animals who have done nothing to us and deserve their peace.

Wetlands are beauties. Yes, they're mucky and maybe boggy, but the grasses are green, the few trees are tall and proud, and it's beautiful against the horizon. Who would want to harm that?

the international is largely a huge foodstuff internet. It can't thrive if there is too a great number of one component, and too little of yet another. organic international is amazingly significant to human life, yet is consistently underrated. as an occasion, many human beings dislike spiders and bats, even however they help to regulate the populations of illness wearing mosquitos and gnats. great predators, inclusive of mountain lions shop down populations of pests inclusive of skunks, squirrels, and raccoons, that have tailored to feed on human leftovers. What i'm attempting to assert is that if the international's biodiversity shrinks, there'll be too many animals we do in comparison to, many illness epidemics, and earth will grow to be a many times gruesome place to stay.

They are (marshes, at least) one of the most biologically productive habits, rivaling tropical rainforests, twice the productivity of a field of corn. They often help clean up city waste water that flows into them. They are often home to endangered species. When intact, they can protect against severe weather.
