    Wetlands are vital ecosystems that provide habitat for many unique plants and animals. However, wetlands face major threats such as draining for agriculture and construction, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation. To manage these threats, strategies include wetland conservation and restoration efforts, reducing industrial and agricultural runoff, and increasing public education about the importance of wetlands. Proper wetland management is crucial for protecting biodiversity, water quality, and important ecosystem services.

    WETLAND THREATS AND

    MANAGEMENT
    STRATEGIES

    WETLAND
    Wetlands are a vital part of our environment becauseThey
    are home to plants and animals that aren’t found any where
    else in the world. These landscape provide food, clean water
    and protection for humans plants and animals a like .
    Wetlands include mangroves peat lands and marshes rivers
    and lakes ,Delta’s ,flood plains and flooded forest rice field
    and ever coral reefs.
    WHAT ARE WETLANDS
    Wetlands are areas containing a large body of water sub
    merging or surrounding areas of land . Wetlands or
    saturation caused seasonolly . Wetlands are distinguished
    by vegetation , bodies of water and soi
    conditions of the area .
    MAJOR THREATS OF WETLAND
    1. Draining of wetland to make space for agriculture or
    construction work is one of the biggest threats to such
    areas.
    2. Like all other habitats, wetlands,are also suffering from
    climate change induced alternations in environment.
    3. Wetlands are threats as the dumping grounds where
    industrial enfluents house hold Wastes or sewage is
    relesed.
    4. Population growth,over consumption,over exploitation,
    pollution and deforestation.
    MANAGEMENT OF WETLAND
    Wetland management generally involves activities
    that can be conducted with in and around wetlands
    both natural and man made to protect restore
    manipulate or provide for their function and values.
    The management of wetlands and their use for
    water quality purpose has resulted in the
    Introduction of anumber of terms.
    MAJOR CAUSES OF WETLAND LOSS
     Road and bridges :-roads and bridges are frequently b
    constructed across wetlands .since wetlands have low land
    value. It is often considered to become more cost effective to
    built roads or ridges across wetland than around them .roads can
    impound a wetland,even of culverts are used.
     Industry:- adverse effects of industry on wetlands can include
    reduction of wetland acreage, alteration of wetland hydrology
    due to industrial water in take and discharge water temperature
    increases point and non point, source pollutant in puts,pH
    changes as a result of discharges and atmospheric despoition.
     Agriculture:- excessive amount of fertilizers and animal
    waste reaching wetlands in runoff agricultural operations
    including confined animal facilities can cause eutrofication.
     Toxic compounds:- untreated runoff containing extremely
    high concentrations of selenium led to mortally and
    deformities in bird, amphibian and fish embryos and the
    disappearance of species from wetlands.
     Mining:- Acid drainage from active and abandaned mines
    causes extensive ecological damage. Acid mine drainage
    introduces high level of acidity and heavy metals through
    runoff and through direct drainage from in wetlands.
     Ampathy of the people:- due to the rapid growth of the
    Population waste production from the house hold also
    increases people throw their waste around the source of
    water and the waste throw to the wetlands plays a vital role
    in the degradation of wetlands.
    IMPORTANCE OF CONSERVATION OF
    WETLANDS
     Wetlands is a transitional zone of land ecosystem and
    aquatic ecosystem.wetland provide shelter and food for
    living things. It helps to sustain various ecosystem.
     The quality of the wetlands had been degrading due to the
    lack of management in forestry, urbanization,
    industrialization and awarness of the people.
     Wetlands are crucial for food production such as rice,
    vegetables,fish etc..
     Wetlands helps in conserving the biodiversity as different
    plant species of wetland provide habitat for varied animal
    communities.
     Wetlands provide many opportunities for recreational
    activities such bird watching, hunting, fishing,trapping and
    hiking. They also provide educational opportunities for
    nature studies and scientific research.
    HOW TO PROTECT A WETLAND

    2. Plants,trees,shrubs and flowers that are native to where
    you live.
    3. Donat to organizations that focus on wetlands operations.

    CONCLUSION

    Wetlands are unique,productive ecosystems where


    terrestrial and aquatic habitats meets . Wetlands plays a
    critical role in maintaining many natural cycles and
    supporting a wide range of biodiversity.
