Wetlands offer some of the best natural solutions to modern crises.
They can clean water by filtering pollutants, displace floodwater, shelter wildlife, improve our mental and physical wellbeing & capture climate-changing amounts of carbon.
We need wetlands now more than ever!

#Urban river in Glasgow.
Ten years ago, fish community was 100% brown trout.
Yesterday, of 342 fishes, 84% were invasive, non-native bullhead (Cottidae). 16% trout.
Bullheads migrated upstream into the site. Trout numbers decreasing. Irreversible change. Care needed!
