Summary

63% Informative

Canada has lost 70 per cent of its ponds, bogs, swamps, salt marshes, estuaries and other wetlands in southern areas where most people live.

Wetlands clean water by filtering out sediments, excess nutrients, pesticides, fertilizers and heavy metals.

They also support a wide diversity of insects that are the foundation of the food chain.

Close to half of Canada ’s wildlife species, and a third of species at risk, rely on wetlands.
