The students and adults are allowed to take pictures. The wetlands are an area of extreme importance. Besides being an area of beauty, many species count on the wetlands as a breeding ground which include one third of the Pacific fishes and two thirds of the Atlantic fishes. Most people think the wetlands are wastelands, but if we destroyed them, more and more animals would become endangered and even extinct. The wetlands are important to human safety as well.
Wetlands soak up water like a sponge.
If we didn't have wetlands, floods would occur even more than they do now. Although the human population is large and still growing, human activities sometimes endanger other species and the environment. That is why people need to know how to make valuable environmental decisions. Published by Mr. Wilgenkamp's sixth grade class on October 22, 1998.
