Peatlands.
Bogs.
Saltmarsh.
Mudflats.
Lagoons.
Ponds.
Floodplains.
Swamps.
Marshes.
Mangroves.
Fens.
Estuaries.

Wetlands come in many forms, but they *all* do incredible things for the planet, for nature and for well-being.

It ys okaye if festivitye ys not thy thing. It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have tinye plans that still seem exhausting. It ys okaye to just be. Be kynde to thyself. Be extra kynde. We are all straungeres heere doing our best. Thou art amazinge.

Wetlands don’t care which direction the rain comes from ⚠️

They act as natural sponges and absorb excess rainwater, releasing it slowly rater than flooding.

We need more of these habitats to protect our communities from flood damage.

Wetlands provide a habitat for 40% of species 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩.

Thousands of species depend on them, but these vital ecosystems are disappearing 3 x faster than forests.

A wildlife landmark: the glossy ibis has bred in Britain for the first time!

Why has this exotic bird nested in the wetlands of Cambridgeshire?

Two reasons may be extremely dry conditions in their Spanish breeding grounds and mild winters in the UK.
