It’s fast emerging that wetlands are one of our best nature-based solutions, providing dynamic wildlife habitat while locking carbon deep in the ground and providing a buffer for inland and coastal flooding.
As humans have changed the land beyond recognition, we think it’s our role to give nature a helping hand to recover. Unlike many other ecosystems such as woodlands or the ocean, wetlands can be restored within a comparatively short space of time, and new wetlands can become viable even at large scale – WWT Steart Marshes is now a thriving working wetland ten years after being built.
