Creating and Restoring Wetlands: From Theory to Practice

Wetlands are vital ecosystems that provide numerous ecological, social, and economic benefits. They support a wide range of plant and animal life, filter pollutants from water, and help to mitigate climate change. However, wetlands have been declining at an alarming rate due to human activities such as land development, agriculture, and pollution.
