Wetlands are shrinking quickly due to human activities such as urban development, agriculture, and drainage for economic purposes. Climate change also plays a role, leading to rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns that further accelerate the loss of wetlands. Additionally, pollution and invasive species disrupt wetland ecosystems, making them more vulnerable to degradation and loss.
