Happy #WorldHabitatDay!💚 Shallow wetlands are dynamic places, with water levels that rise and fall throughout the year. Along with providing food, shelter & habitat for wildlife, they also slow & store water during rainfall, reducing risks of flooding. Restoring habitat builds resilient watersheds!
