Wetlands are ecosystems where water is the primary factor controlling the environment and the associated plant and animal life. A broad definition of wetlands includes both freshwater and marine and coastal ecosystems, such as all lakes and rivers, underground aquifers, swamps and marshes, wet grasslands, peatlands, oases, estuaries, deltas, and tidal flats, mangroves and other coastal areas, coral reefs, and all human-made sites such as fishponds, rice paddies, reservoirs, and saltpans.
Given the intrinsic value of these ecosystems, these lands are critical to people and nature, and their benefits and services, including their environmental, climate, ecological, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational, and aesthetic contributions to sustainable development and human wellbeing.
Although they cover only around 6 percent of the Earthโs land surface, 40 percent of all plant and animal species live or breed in wetlandsโwetland biodiversity matters for our health, food supply, tourism, and jobs. Wetlands are vital for humans, other ecosystems, and our climate, providing essential ecosystem services, such as water regulation, flood control, and water purification. More than a billion people worldwide depend on wetlands for their livelihoods โ about one in eight people on Earth.
