Summary
In the past fifty years, 35% of the world's wetlands have been lost, and threats to wetlands
continue to increase in a post-pandemic world.
When we consider this shocking statistic, this year’s theme for World Wetlands Day is certainly apt: It’s Time for Wetland Restoration. Indeed, there is no time to lose.
