Wetlands

Southern Africa's wetlands are amongst the most diverse both physically and biologically of any in the world, yet we have lost an estimated 50% of our wetlands to urban and industrial development and agriculture.

Wetlands provide an essential habitat for endangered Wattled Cranes to breed - there are 50 pairs in Midlands.

Worldwide, wetlands provide R500 billion in eco-system services annually.

Wetlands purify water, control floods, prevent soil erosion, support a rich species diversity and provide food, raw materials and tourism opportunities.
