Photo by Samuel Mann CC BY 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Aotearoa has many different types of wetlands<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bogs receive all their water from rain, and don\u2019t get a lot of nutrients or water from the soil.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Fens are often on slopes or at the edges of bogs, and get some water and nutrients from the soil around them.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Swamps are fertile wetlands fed by both rainwater and surface runoff. They are high in nutrients and sediment from land around them.<\/li><li>Estuaries are places where freshwater flows into intertidal areas, so saltwater and freshwater meet here. Estuary mudflats are home to thousands of wader birds.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wetlandtrust.org.nz\/what-we-do\/resources\/types-of-wetlands\/\">There are also special types of wetlands found near lakes, in rivers and even under the earth!<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Wetlands are our secret weapon against the climate crisis<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>Wetlands &#8211; particularly peat wetlands &#8211; are great at capturing and storing carbon. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestandbird.org.nz\/resources\/restoring-peat-wetlands-our-climate-change-secret-weapon\">Peat wetlands currently cover only about 3% of the earth\u2019s land surface, but hold twice as much carbon as all the world\u2019s forests combined.<\/a> Wetlands also help buffer the effects of the climate crisis &#8211; like flooding. Wetlands can absorb heavy rain and then release it gradually, helping prevent soil from becoming overloaded with water.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Wetlands help keep our waterways clean<\/h4>\n\n<p>We all know our rivers and lakes aren\u2019t looking too good these days &#8211; thanks largely to industrial dairying. Why is dairying a problem? Nutrients (like nitrogen) from cow pee and from fertiliser get washed off the land into our waterways. When this happens, it creates ideal conditions for slimy algae to grow &#8211; choking out other plants and fish. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.govt.nz\/nature\/habitats\/wetlands\/why-wetlands-are-important\/\">But wetlands help prevent those nutrients entering our waterways by slowing the water down and acting as a filter.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Wetlands are home to some weird and wild creatures<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>Wetlands provide a vital home for New Zealand\u2019s special native fish and birds, as well as insects and plant life. The <a href=\"https:\/\/rarespecies.nzfoa.org.nz\/species\/canterbury-mudfish\/\">kowaro, or Canterbury mudfish,<\/a> is our most endangered fish species. This strange little fish has the amazing ability to burrow into the mud during dry seasons, going into a state similar to hibernation until more rain comes.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/our-rivers-at-risk\/\">Over three quarters of our native fish species are at risk of extinction<\/a>, which is why it\u2019s so crucial that we protect their homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Our wetlands are at risk &#8211; and they need our help<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.environmentguide.org.nz\/issues\/biodiversity\/new-zealands-biodiversity\/wetlands\/\">90% of our wetlands have been drained<\/a>. What remains is threatened by nutrient pollution and sediment runoff, largely from industrial dairying. And when dried, peatland stops locking away carbon and instead emits it. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestandbird.org.nz\/resources\/restoring-peat-wetlands-our-climate-change-secret-weapon\">dried peatland is responsible for up to 6% of agricultural emissions in New Zealand.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Wetlands may not be as glamorous as forests, but they fulfill a vital role in the health of our water and our climate &#8211; and we need to protect them. That means stopping conversion of wetland to farmland, restoring former wetlands, reducing the number of dairy cows, and <a href=\"https:\/\/act.greenpeace.org\/page\/33372\/petition\/1\">phasing out wetland pollutants like synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t know where to start? <a href=\"https:\/\/act.greenpeace.org\/page\/33372\/petition\/1\">Join us to call on the Government to phase out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<\/a> &#8211; and remember, this is just the <em>bog<\/em>inning.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><em>With thanks to The Wetland Trust, Forest &amp; Bird and the Department of Conservation.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"EmptyMessage\">Block content is empty.
