World Wetlands Day, observed every year on February 2, is a global event that highlights the vital role wetlands play in our environment and daily lives. Wetlands—such as marshes, swamps, and riversides—are home to countless species of plants and animals, helping maintain biodiversity. They also play a key role in regulating the climate by storing carbon and controlling floods, while providing essential resources like clean water and food for humans. This day reminds us of the need to protect and conserve wetlands so that both nature and people can continue to benefit from their many services.
