Protect Canada's Wetlands

Wetlands play a crucial role in our global climate, promoting climate change resiliency by acting as a natural defence against floods and drought. They provide many ecosystem services, such as filtering toxic substances and sediments, groundwater recharge, water quality regulation, and more. Wetlands give many benefits to human well-being, providing clean water and supporting recreational activities. They also provide critical habitat for endangered and at-risk species.
