Why We Celebrate World Wetlands Day By Peter Ramollo, Aquatic Scientist

Wetlands-Day-ImageWhy We Celebrate World Wetlands Day
By Peter Ramollo, Aquatic Scientist

Wetland Day Celebration is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and celebrating the important role that wetlands play in our environment. The theme for this year is wetlands and human wellbeing. Wetlands are unique ecosystems that are characterized by the presence of water in the short term or long term, making them distinct from other terrestrial or aquatic habitats.

These wetlands act as a natural sponge for our environment by absorbing extra water during heavy rainfall or floods. This prevents flooding in nearby areas and helps maintain the balance of water in ecosystems. Moreover, wetlands maintain water quality by filtering, purifying and trapping of pollutants, sediments, and excessive nutrients from entering other waterbodies. By celebrating Wetland Day, we acknowledge their essential role in providing clean and healthy water for both the environment and human. Furthermore, wetlands serve as habitats for a wide range of plant and animal species. These unique ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots, supporting countless species that depend on wetlands for their survival. Celebrating Wetland Day enables us to recognize and appreciate this rich diversity of life, fostering a sense of responsibility towards their conservation.
