Am Freitag war #Worldwetlandsday. Für @ThomasKrumenacker und mich geht es jetzt erst richtig los. Für uns ist World Wetland Year! Wir starten gerade unser Rechercheprojekt „Zukunft Erde: Feuchtgebiete“. Was wir vorhaben, erfahrt Ihr auf der Webseite. Wir freuen uns über Feedback! https://www.zukunft-erde.org/
I almost forgot #WorldWetlandsDay! But now, just in time, goodnight with this view across the #Wetlands at #Benbulben to the Atlantic. Sleep well, wherever you are!✨
Living in the Tamar Valley/Kanamaluka, there's no shortage of Wetlands round here, with a few designated and protected areas.
Here are a group of Hoary Headed Grebes at Nawrantapu NP seen from a birdhide which you get to after walking through a forest of native swamp paperbark trees 🙂
Many mangrove restorations fail. Is there a better way?
These carbon-hoarding, coastline-protecting forests are sponges for greenhouse gases. Doing plantings right and involving local communities are key to saving them:
RT by @SfEP: Wetlands cover around 6% of the Earth’s land surface & are vital for human health, food supply & livelihoods. Yet these unique ecosystems are vanishing three times faster than forests.

Share if you think every day should be #WorldWetlandsDay. Without these ecosystems we would have more drought, less clean water, stronger coastal storm impacts, and biodiversity would be far far less interesting and beautiful. #mosstodon#lichensubscribe#wetlands#Climate
February 2 is #WorldWetlandsDay A day for action to help restore damaged or degraded wetlands, & a day to educate on the importance of wetlands. Please consider #Volunteering to help. In #Scotland the greatest #volunteer team working to secure & restore our depleted & degraded #wetlands are the expanding population of re-introduced #beavers 🦫🦫
They need our help too. For more info see:
