Every Wetland Counts: Sign the petition
Wetlands are climate heroes. They can store large amounts of carbon and help keep us safe from floods and storm surges.
But only 10 percent of our wetlands remain, and they continue to be threatened by agriculture, urban development, mining, quarrying and landfills.
Forest and Bird - along with 10 other non-governmental organisations - are campaigning for the Government to double the extent of New Zealand's wetland's by 2050.
Sign the Every Wetland Counts petition (Forest and Bird).
