Ramsar's key message for August - "Wetlands are part of the carbon cycle - don't destroy them."

Greetings:

This month we focus on “Wetlands are part of the carbon cycle – don’t destroy them.”  Wetlands have a key role to play in the carbon cycle and thus in climate change mitigation.  Maintaining intact wetlands that can store a lot of carbon is essential – as is the restoration of degraded wetlands, especially those that act as carbon sinks and those that can help people in adapting to climate change.

What needs to be done next?
