A #wetland is any land area that can hold surface water and support aquatic flora and fauna. In urban spaces, wetlands occur as lakes, ponds, marshlands, and swamps.
#Wetland conservation and restoration is an essential component of delivering the #BiodiversityPlan vision of a world living in harmony with nature where by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used.
