The most significant damage to wetlands is caused by urban development, agriculture, and pollution. Urban expansion often leads to the draining and filling of wetlands for construction, while agricultural practices can introduce fertilizers and pesticides that degrade water quality. Additionally, pollution from industrial discharges and runoff can harm aquatic ecosystems and disrupt the delicate balance of wetland habitats. Climate change also poses a growing threat through rising sea levels and altered precipitation patterns.
