Wetlands are land areas covered by water most of the time. This can either be fresh water, salty water or mixed water. They form naturally or are made by humans when water collects and cannot run off. Wetlands are on almost every continent(大洲).
$Wetlands are really important. They are home to about 100,000 kinds of animals, and 40% of the world's plants and animals depend on wetlands to live. Wetlands also help fight climate change by taking in lots of carbon to reduce CO_2 in the air. During heavy rains, they take in water to reduce flooding, and in dry seasons, they slowly let stored water go to help fight droughts($干旱). Over 1 billion people live on wetlands for jobs like fishing, rice farming, and tourism. In fact, food grown in wetlands feeds more than half of the world's population.
However, wetlands are disappearing fast. Since 1970, more than 33% of wetlands have been lost. Wastes from people's daily life and factory production harm these areas. Dams(水坝) stop rivers and this shrinks wetlands. Invasive species(入侵物种$) also cause problems. Some plants grow quickly, pushing out local species and harming fish by reducing O_2.$
$Protecting wetlands requires global action. In 1971, 172 countries signed the Convention on Wetlands to protect these ecosystems. For example, in 2020, China's wetland protection rate was 52.7%, with a planned increase of 2.4% every five years. And the UK plans to create and restore 1,000 km^2 of wetlands by 2050.$
It isn't just governments' responsibility to protect wetlands. Everyone can help. Simple actions like planting native(本土的) trees near rivers, or joining clean-up activities make a difference. By valuing wetlands and working together, we can protect these important ecosystems for our planet's future.
