U.S. wetlands are in crisis, with half of these vital ecosystems in the lower 48 states vanishing since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision removed federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to draining and filling.

Wetlands are crucial for biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on them, with over 33% living exclusively there. Their loss degrades water quality, increases flood risks, and accelerates extinction; many endangered wetland species lack critical habitat protection.

Urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species. Learn more and act at www.saveourfreshwater.org.
