#WetlandsandCulturalHeritage | People have lived in & around #wetlands since ancient times, slowly shaping them into unique places where nature and human life come together. These areas tell the story of past generations and are culturally and historically important.

بدءًا من الحضارات القديمة وصولا إلى المدن الحديثة، لطالما دعمت #الأراضي_الرطبة حياة السكان الذين يعيشون بقربها.
💧فهي تخزّن المياه وتخفف من الفيضانات وتنقّي المياه التي نعتمد عليها يوميا.
👈إن حماية الأراضي الرطبة هي حماية لمستقبلنا

From ancient civilizations to modern cities, #wetlands have quietly sustained life
💧 🌊 They store water, reduce #floods, and naturally clean the water we depend on every day.

👉 Protecting wetlands is protecting our future.

#الأراضي_الرطبة حليف أساسي في مواجهة #تغير_المناخ:

🌿 تلتقط الكربون وتخزّنه.
🌊 تقلّل من آثار #الفيضانات والعواصف وارتفاع مستوى سطح البحر.
🎣 تعزّز القدرة على التكيّف مع تغيّر المناخ من خلال #الحلول_القائمة_على_الطبيعة والمعارف والممارسات التقليدية.
