Why we must keep urban #wetlands and why we must stop encroaching on them.

[cedric @treebeing]

In 2025, #WMBD raises awareness about the many challenges #migratorybirds face due to #humanactivities & expanding #urbandevelopment.
The campaign will advocate for strategic urban planning & conservation efforts that incorporate bird-friendly practices.

Winter wetlands may look frozen and lifeless, but they’re hard at work! ❄️🌿 They prevent floods, clean water, and shelter wildlife. 🐸💧But we’re losing them fast—over 72% are already gone in Southern Ontario. We need to protect what’s left! Learn more: https://t.co/TnFzaTLLGh

Did you know that Trent is home to two provincially significant wetland complexes? Trent actively protects these valuable ecological assets for future generations as part of the UGN. Learn more about wetlands and the UGN: https://t.co/ivnsfFwvey

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay2025!

By conserving the world’s wetlands, we safeguard biodiversity, enhance climate resilience and secure critical ecosystem services that support human health, economic wellbeing and cultural heritage.

Because today and every day is #WorldWetlandsDay.

[Convention on Wetlands @RamsarConv]

Wetlands link mountains to oceans, span national borders, connect different habitats and facilitate the movement of species.

They’re vital for maintaining genetic diversity and healthy populations.

[Convention on Wetlands @RamsarConv]

Healthy wetlands are essential for:

💧 Clean drinking water
🌿 Nutrients for fertile fields
🐟 Freshwater fish that feed millions
🏝️ Sediment that keeps deltas above rising seas

Did you know wetlands store more carbon than forests? But better data is needed to protect them.

CIFOR-ICRAF is working to improve Forest Reference Emission Level (FREL) for wetlands, helping countries make informed decisions to fight climate change.

🏙 Urban #forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield.

... or you know, stop paving over wetlands, nature's best solution against flooding.

[Fatima Syed / @fatimabsyed.bsky.social @fatimabsyed]

The Greater Toronto Area is seriously flooding once again in what is likely to be our wettest summer on record. I am once again **begging** Canadian municipalities to think about stormwater as more basements and roadways and infrastructure drowns.

Discover the value of #WetlandsForCities 🐸 #CitiesWithNature

Wetlands are urban gems, providing many benefits to our communities. 🏞️

Let's integrate wetland management into city policies & budgets for a sustainable urban future! https://t.co/ZaWp9u8Ndi

Urban trees:

🌳Reduce energy use
🏙Improve water quality
🌴Increase property values

They are #biodiversity heroes in concrete jungles.
