Wetland areas are decreasing primarily due to urban development, agriculture, and industrial activities that convert these ecosystems into land for housing, farming, and infrastructure. Additionally, climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and altered precipitation patterns, contribute to wetland degradation. Pollution and invasive species further exacerbate the decline by disrupting the delicate balance of these environments. Conservation efforts are ongoing, but many wetlands continue to be lost at alarming rates.

Why is the blesbokspruit wetland important?
The Blesbokspruit wetland is important because first of all it is a wetland recognised as 'the third most important ecosystem on Earth'; and it is a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, this regardless of all the anthropogenic activities that have been decreasing the quality of this wetland since the 1990s.
Why is the PH of water entering a wetland different from that leaving a wetland?

Does it rain a lot in a wetland?
Yes, wetlands often have high levels of precipitation due to their unique environmental conditions. The combination of waterlogged soils, abundant vegetation, and proximity to bodies of water can lead to frequent rain in wetland areas.
What is loss of wetland?
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.
