Happy World Wetlands Day! 🌿💧
This week we celebrate these ecosystems that do so much to keep our planet healthy: they store carbon, filter water, prevent floods, and support incredible biodiversity, including one of the world's rarest birds: the White-winged Flufftail!
We are guided by birds like the White-winged Flufftail: through them we can learn where wetlands are thriving, or where they are under pressure. By working with communities across South Africa, we can help keep wetlands healthy.

Happy World Wetlands Day! 🍃
Did you know that wetlands are some of South Africa’s hardest-working ecosystems? From filtering polluted water to protecting communities from floods and supporting rich biodiversity, these natural spaces play a vital role in our everyday lives.
Help your learners and children become eco-conscious by exploring the benefits of wetlands through our “WOW! The Wonders of Wetlands” activity in the "Be a Wetland Warrior" Activity Book.

Let’s inspire the next generation to protect our wetlands.
