Wetlands are one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. Unfortunately, up to 70 per cent of wetlands have been lost in settled areas of Canada. More are lost every day. Wetlands do many important jobs for us. They help clean our water. They are home to hundreds of species of wildlife. They protect our communities from flooding and droughts. They store carbon, helping in the fight against climate change. Since 1938, we have been working hard to save Canada's wetlands. Backed by sound science, we have what it takes to make a real difference. It's why we're leading the way in wetland conservation. We know what needs to be done. We know how to do it. Now, more than ever, we need your help.
