Every year on ???????????????? ??, ?????????? ???????????????? ?????? shines a spotlight on the incredible value of wetlands—reminding us why we must protect these vital ecosystems. This year’s theme, "???????????????????? ???????????????? ?????? ?????? ???????????? ????????????," underscores the urgent need to safeguard these habitats for the health of our planet—and for future generations. ?? Why do wetlands matter? ? They purify water and reduce flood risks ? They provide crucial habitats for wildlife ? They absorb carbon, helping fight climate change At Via Pontica Foundation, we’re dedicated to preserving wetlands in the Black Sea region and raising awareness of their importance. But we can’t do it alone! ?? The Convention on Wetlands has launched the Wall of Pledges, an inspiring global movement that invites YOU to make a commitment to protect wetlands. ?? Take action today—make your pledge and join the movement: https://bit.ly/3C12iLp Together, we can make a lasting impact on the future of our planet! #WorldWetlandsDay #WetlandsConservation #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Sustainability #ViaPonticaFoundation #BlackSea

This Week: Highlighting Wetland Habitats! Wetlands are vital ecosystems that deserve our protection for several reasons: -Home to numerous species. -Wetlands filter pollutants, ensuring clean water for all. -They absorb excess rainfall, reducing flood risks. -Wetlands store carbon, helping combat climate change. Protecting wetlands is crucial for sustaining our environment and communities. Let’s raise awareness and advocate for their conservation! #ProtectWetlands #Biodiversity

??Wetlands are often called the 'kidneys of the planet' due to their crucial role in filtering and purifying #water. But their importance doesn't stop there. #Wetlands are essential for supporting and sustaining life on Earth ??. Safeguarding and restoring our wetlands lies at the heart ?? of solving our twin #climate and #biodiversity crisis. This infographic highlights the many ways wetlands serve us — as vital habitats for #wildlife ??, sources of livelihoods, food ??, and freshwater ??, as well as natural climate regulators. Let’s take a moment to recognise the irreplaceable role wetlands play in preserving #biodiversity and safeguarding our planet. ??

Wetlands provide critical ecological goods and services that sustain and enhance all life. From filtering water, to protecting communities against flooding, supporting diverse wildlife, and storing carbon to help mitigate climate change, wetlands are some of nature’s most effective multitaskers. ??

World Environment Day 2024: Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience On June 5, 2024, we celebrate World Environment Day, the biggest international day for the environment. This year’s theme is “Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.” Under the slogan “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration,” we focus on revitalizing ecosystems, combating desertification, and building resilience against drought. ?? Why Land Restoration Matters: Ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating climate, and supporting livelihoods. Desertification threatens fertile land, affecting agriculture, water availability, and communities. Drought resilience ensures our ability to withstand water scarcity and adapt to changing climates. Join us in restoring our land, protecting our future, and becoming part of the #vydyuthi #GenerationRestoration #worldenvironmentday

??? Tomorrow is World Wetlands Day! ??? Did you know wetlands are some of the most valuable ecosystems on the planet? ?? They: ?? Protect us from storms and floods ?? Provide clean water for millions ??? Store carbon to fight climate change ?? Support livelihoods and biodiversity But wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate. Now, more than ever, we must unite to value, protect, and inspire action for these vital ecosystems. ?? This year’s theme, "Wetlands for Our Common Future," reminds us that safeguarding wetlands means safeguarding our planet. https://lnkd.in/d6GXADqi Stay tuned as we prepare to celebrate wetlands and all they do for us. Let’s work together to secure a sustainable future for these natural wonders! ??

Today's World Environment Day theme is Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience. Did you know that up to 40% of the planet's land is degraded, affecting half of the world's population? Let's work together towards restoring our environment. Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration #WorldEnvironmentDay #Environment #MaterialsHandling #OurLandOurFuture

Today marks World Environment Day which alongside World Earth Day in April (their focuses are different) plays a crucial role in raising awareness about the state of our planet. World Environment Day aims to bring global focus to humanity’s responsibility for the environment and the 2024 theme focuses on campaigns around land restoration, combatting desertification and building drought resilience, under the slogan “Our Land. Our Future”. Given Australia is the second driest continent on the planet with 35% of it receiving so little rain that it is virtually desert, this year’s theme resonates deeply. How can we help? Plant native species, conserve water, raise awareness, educate our children - every small action counts. It is up to each of us, not just the government or someone else, to do everything we can to safeguard our environment. #worldenvironmentday #ourlandourfuture #futuresustainability

The IUCN's global mangrove assessment highlights the critical endangerment of mangrove ecosystems in Sri Lanka. However, the Sri Lankan government is taking steps to degazzeting areas like Wedithalatuv PA, known for its rich biodiversity. It's essential that we continue to raise awareness about the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems and support conservation efforts to protect them for future generations.
