A wetland is an area of land that is either saturated or flooded a majority of the time and supports vegetation that can withstand an extremely moist environment.
Wetland destruction has become a major environmental issue in the world; one of the main causes of wetland destruction is the draining. Due to the fact that once a wetland is drained it makes excellent fertile grounds to farm on. With the loss of wetlands has come the loss of valuable habitat for native rare species of wildlife. Human populations are also suffering as a result of the gradual loss of wetlands and it seems as though their importance has been overlooked.
