El #WorldWetlandsDay son los 365 días del año en la UCLM.
Gracias al apoyo a actividades culturales de la Facultad de Educación de Ciudad Real y de MedWet y OFB, el maestro Pablo Pichaco nos mostrará el 4 de marzo el fascinante mundo de los invertebrados y del Cura de los Bichos.
Será la celebración cumbre de nuestro particular #WorldWetlandsDay que se alarga todo el año, gracias a la Agencia de Empleo y Desarrollo Local del Ayto. de Pozuelo de Calatrava MedWet y OFB.

Global report stresses on role of wild animals, #rewilding in #wetland conservation
The study, released on #WorldWetlandsDay, outlines impactful evidence that reintroducing and protecting key wild animal species could be a game-changer in tackling #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss, #InvasiveSpecies control, and #WaterSecurity challenges.

Excerpt: "A case study from #India led by Dr Samir Kumar Sinha, Chief Ecologist, Wildlife Trust of India, on the potential influences of #SarusCrane recovery on the wetland ecosystem services has recorded that the '#Sarus #crane holds cultural significance and thus provides cultural services in India. Its foraging behaviour – primarily digging for tubers and roots in muddy wetlands –creates ploughed patches that enhance plant diversity and support the growth of of less dominant plant species. The crane also benefits small-scale farming, as their nesting sites provide foundations for pioneer grasses instead of the typical reed and sedge, which allow the farmers to till, plough, and sow crops earlier,' the WTI said.
"The Ganges River basin hosts diverse wetlands vital for biodiversity, including the culturally significant but vulnerable Sarus crane, which depends on both natural and man-made wetlands. Habitat destruction has forced these cranes to breed in rice paddies, despite lower breeding success.
"The Sarus crane serves as a key indicator of wetland health. Conservation efforts in eastern #UttarPradesh by the #WildlifeTrustOfIndia have protected 700+ nests, leading to an 8 per cent annual population growth from 650 (2013) to 2,600 (2024)."

"Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 
"Today, let’s celebrate the central role of #wetlands in our lives!
"They increase resilience to #ClimateChange, support #biodiversity, filter water & contribute to #foodsecurity.
"Preserving & restoring wetlands is essential to limit severe flooding from heavy rainfall."

Nuestras amigas de SER Ciudad Real acercan las actividades del #WorldWetlandsDay a la gente, con apoyo de @MedWetOrg
y de @OFBiodiversite.
Charlo con @MireiaMorolln, pero gracias a sendos equipazos de la radio y de la UCLM. https://cadenaser.com/audio/1738240078035/
Yesterday was #WorldWetlandsDay, the perfect opportunity to highlight a #rewilding project restoring wetlands in the central Scottish Borders. @BGreenNature has ambitious plans to transform a large estate into a nature-rich ‘living classroom’ for local schools. (1/3)
February 2 was World Wetlands Day, and the Edmonton chapter of the Council of Canadians organized an event at the Ukrainian Hall on 97th Street and 110 Avenue. It featured information tables from a variety of organizations, a performance from The Raging Grannies, and the opportunity for people to speak about the importance of wetlands and conservation.

From Burmese pythons and Asian swamp eels to Old World climbing ferns, South Florida hosts hordes of non-native animals and plants. What can be done about the ecological havoc they are wreaking?

To celebrate #WorldWetlandsDay , here is " #Insects and #Reptiles in a Pond" by Itō Jakuchū (Japan, 1716-1800). It's one of 30 hanging silk scrolls from Dōshoku sai-e (Colorful Realm of Living Beings) c. 1757-66, declared a National Treasure of Japan & held by the Museum of the Imperial Collections.

Wetlands are where land meets water and the sea.
Their value is neglected by policy-makers & short-sighted politicians & they are often grabbed by property developers. Yet these 'amphibious environments' are so crucial for biodiversity, local fishing and pastoralist livelihoods as well as carbon sequestration.
The wet landmasses, though inherently impermanent, have been essential to both people and wildlife for thousands of years. But recent shifts have brought on some rapid losses that worry scientists.

These carbon-hoarding, coastline-protecting forests are sponges for greenhouse gases. Doing plantings right and involving local communities are key to saving them.
