Happy World Wetland Day! #DYK that southern Ontario historically had an abundance of wetland habitat? With urbanization, the Toronto area has lost more than 85% of its original wetlands. Learn how TRCA is restoring wetlands: https://t.co/cI6kVTLYt2 https://t.co/PvnzJhL6IZ

World Wetlands Day! Wetlands cover ~6% of the Earth’s land surface, 40% of all plant & animal species live/breed in wetlands. The "kidneys of the landscape," wetlands transform nutrients & contaminants. They also hold water from high rainfall, protecting us from flash flood. 🌎 https://t.co/ibdxBrnTCA

Happy World Wetlands Day in the NJ Pinelands! Wetlands comprise about one-third of the million-acre Pinelands of southern New Jersey, and they filter sediments, pollutants and nutrients from water, capture and store carbon, and provide a buffer against sea level rise. #pinelands https://t.co/8RbhJhad6Q

Happy World Wetlands Day! Somehow the fates aligned I had the "opportunity" speak briefly about wetlands in front of a legislative committee today. I love wetlands and have devoted much of the last 15 years of my life to Great Salt Lake wetlands. https://t.co/8n2qgfJLmX

Today is World Wetlands Day! Wetlands are important because they provide habitat for thousands of species and are among the most productive habitats on earth. They help us through flood protection and water quality improvement, in addition to recreation, aesthetics, and more. https://t.co/32yBbzIZ0v

We celebrate World Wetlands Day! The theme this year is Wetlands Restoration. That's no small matter in California where there are 3,936,972 acres of wetlands, found in estuaries, beaches & rocky intertidal shorelines, rivers, lakes, and other freshwater aquatic habitats. https://t.co/2C9WNhJTqb
