Get to know the world's largest wetlands. (Wetlands = areas which spend over half the year underwater.) Historically wetlands have been dried up by humans to create settlements, but now they are valued for their critical role in ecosystems. Wetlands can be coastal or inland and often found in river deltas.
Wetlands are a prime location to see biodiversity--often better viewing than rainforests because you can see farther and species are out in the open.
