Fauna Foundation's Wetlands Restoration Home to many species is the 103-acre environmental sanctuary of the Fauna Foundation. Though there are various kinds of wetlands, the one thing they all have in common is a high water table level which is enormously beneficial for all sorts of wildlife - from tiny aquatic creatures to beavers and migrating birds.
Wetlands are essential both as a home and as a support system for an enormous variety of wildlife.
These two locations alone demonstrate how wetlands and their surrounding area are absolutely necessary to preserve the rich diversity of life on our threatened planet. Dangers Wetlands are disappearing at a phenomenal rate. For example, in South America currently , a 3500 kilometre commercial waterway is being planned to cut through the enormous wetland running across the very heart of that continent. Australia is producing major conservation efforts for 520 of its important wetland sites. India is introducing wetland visitor centers and water management schemes.
