Wetlands Are Wonderful
Best place in the world!
Wetlands provide homes for 1/3 of endangered species
As you see here, an alligator is swimming around in his habitat, but, if humans continue to annihilate wetlands, encounters with alligators will increase as these big guys search for a new home!
What are wetlands?
A wetland is any land that is wet. Only 12% of the Earth's surface is wetlands. There are four different types of wetlands. Swamps, bogs, marshes, and fens.
Descriptions of each type of wetland
Swamps
A swamp is any wetland that is dominated by trees and other wooded plants. Their soil is always saturated with water
Marshes
Marshes have a neutral pH balance, making it the perfect place for many living organisms. They are usually overwhelmed with water
