Wetlands are home to a vast amount of biodiversity but 87% of the world's wetlands have been lost in the last 300 years due to pollution, drainage, and land conversion. This loss of wetlands is contributing to the loss of over one million animal and plant species that are now threatened with extinction. Wetlands provide essential services worth $47 trillion annually such as carbon storage, pollutant removal, jobs, and support of biodiversity including reptiles, amphibians, water birds, and mammals. Efforts are needed to end biodiversity loss and restore degraded wetlands for the health of the climate, economies, and ecosystems.
