Several million wetlands are destroyed each year. If we don't preserve some wetlands then there will be none left. Wetlands are such a beautiful place, and if we destroy them there is barely any beauty left in the world. Wetlands include rivers, streams, bogs, ponds, etc. It's basically any place where water covers soil "or is present either at or near the surface of the soil all year or for varying periods of time during the year, including during the growing season." Quote the wetlands EPA website.
Wetlands are a place where many different species of animals survive and sometimes don't anywhere else. Some species living in wetlands are endangered, some are endemic, and, of course, some species survive and thrive in other places too. Wetlands are a vital habitat for many different species of animals. If they are destroyed, the animals will die too.
The Kakadu wetlands, which I had personally researched, is another place where rare or endangered animals survive. It is half the size of Switzerland, and it holds over 12210 different species of plants and animals. It i also a large tourist attraction, with many Aboriginal paintings, and it is alive with their culture. It would be a sad loss if the Kakadu wetlands were destroyed.
