Have No Fear, World Wetlands Day is Here!

Celebrated on the 2nd of February each year, World Wetlands Day sets out to raise awareness about the importance of Wetlands as an integral part of the environment and their impact on human prosperity. This holiday was officially established by the UN in 2021 and commemorates the anniversary of the Convention on Wetlands, a treaty which provided us with a framework for wise use and preservation of wetlands, which was signed in 1971.


 

Why should we care about restoring and preserving Wetlands? Wetlands are amongst the most degraded ecosystems on our planet, with a decline of 90% since the 1700’s. This poses a huge threat to the health of our Earth and us humans. This year, the official theme of World Wetlands Day, “Wetlands and Human Wellbeing,” aims to illustrate the relationship between the wellbeing of the wetlands and the wellbeing of humans.

 

This ecosystem’s presence is essential as it provides biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, and other such environmental benefits, but they additionally contribute to world economies and beautifies our landscapes, directly affecting us as humans. Even more specific to us Tampa Bay residents, as a staple of our natural Florida beauty, we especially should place an emphasis on protecting these valuable ecosystems!

Mình vừa có thời gian rảnh để lướt mạng và tình cờ thấy đề cập đến 79KING trong một cuộc trò chuyện. Hôm qua, mình quyết định vào xem thử để tìm hiểu thêm về nền tảng này. Mình khá ấn tượng với giao diện, nó khá bắt mắt và dễ sử dụng. Mình cũng để ý là tốc độ tải trang nhanh hơn so với một số trang khác mà mình thường hay truy cập. Tuy nhiên, có lẽ cần thêm thời gian để kiểm tra kỹ hơn về các tính năng của nó. Mình đã bookmark lại để quay lại xem kỹ hơn sau.

As a Florida resident, it's really eye-opening to see how much our own wellbeing is actually tied to the health of these wetlands. Watching the different parts of the ecosystem work together creates a natural harmony that feels just as satisfying as locking in the perfect beat in Sprunki Retake. We absolutely need to do a better job of protecting these beautiful landscapes before they're gone.

This sense of autonomy is the essence of the Melon Sandbox game, compelling players to repeatedly engage in experimentation, construction, destruction, and exploration of new possibilities.

 With 35% of the world’s wetlands lost in the last 50 years, the call to action is louder than ever.
