Conserving wetlands and conserving wildlife are interdependent goals.
If we continue to lose them at today’s pace, we risk ecological collapse but if we restore them, we unlock immense benefits for both the planet and people.

🏞️ Wetlands are more than just ecosystems, they are sanctuaries of life.
🐟 They harbour countless species, many found nowhere else on Earth, and they serve humanity in profound ways.

🌊 Wetlands regulate the planet’s hydrological rhythm, storing & releasing water in ways that sustain ecosystems. To meet global climate goals, wetlands must move from the margins of discussion to the centre of action.

Migratory waterbirds are vital for wetlands and other ecosystems. As an important part of biodiversity, migratory waterbirds play essential roles in the wetlands and aquatic ecosystems through which they pass.

🕊️ Many migratory birds rely heavily on wetlands as essential stopover points during their travels along established migration routes known as flyways.
🌊 These migration corridors connect critical habitats across continents, and wetlands provide the perfect environment for birds to rest. #MOP12

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"
