wetlands
by toriwilliams
what are wetlands?
types of wetlands are: swamps, bogs, marshes, and fens.
swamps are wetlands that have a lot of trees.
bogs are very thick muddy places and have peat, and lots of smaller trees
marshes are found near lakes or rivers and have a lot of weeds growing there.
fens are a lot like bogs but they have a lot of minerals, good soil, and mostly weeds.
wetland animals!
these animals include : moose, frogs, insects, and a lot more!
animals live here because they need a water source, such as amphibians.
wetland destruction.
people are building on top of wetlands to make houses,stores, large buisnesses, ect.
and this is killing wetlands and the creatures that live there.
people are also using wetlands water to drink and that is draining the water from wetlands.
we can fix it!
we can also start getting our water from fresh water sources, like rivers and creeks, instead of our wetlands!
