Wetlands are not only spectacular to visit in autumn, with flocks of lapwing, dunlin and golden plover flying in unison, but they’re also lifelines, providing water, food or habitat for almost all species, including over a billion of us.

What’s more, as carbon stores and natural flood defenders, they are one of our best protectors against climate change and its disastrous effects. And yet, wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests – 35% have disappeared since 1970.
