Wetlands are areas generally covered in low levels of water, often areas near to the sea or rivers. They are environmentally important and are habitats for many animals and plants, particularly lots of wetland species of birds. Loss of wetland is caused when these areas are drained to make land fit for housing, industry or farming. This loss means that the continued existence of many animals and plants is threatened as they have less and less habitats available.
