Today is World Wetlands Day. Thanks to Wildsight Invermere for the reflection on Wetland importance. Did you know that 40% of the world’s flora and fauna live or breed in wetlands? Locally, our Columbia Wetlands shelter 16 diverse habitats and some 216 species. Other benefits include storing and providing water and protection against extreme weather through flood control.... Globally, wetlands can store 50 times more carbon than rainforests, helping to keep the heat-trapping gas that contributes to climate change out of the atmosphere.
