Wetlands and rivers are more than just water bodies. They sustain life, support biodiversity and help keep our environment healthy . They matter because ;
● They provide water for people, agriculture and wildlife.
● They help reduce flooding by absorbing and storing excess rainwater.
● They provide habitats for fish, birds, plants and other wildlife.
● Healthy wetlands store carbon, helping regulate our climate.
○ They help filter sediments and some pollutants, supporting better water quality.
Unfortunately, pollution, illegal dumping, encroachment and destruction of vegetation threaten these vital ecosystems.
What can we do?
✅ Keep waste out of rivers and wetlands.
✅ Participate in community cleanups.
✅ Protect vegetation along riverbanks.
✅ Support wetland restoration and conservation.
