"Wetland protection" refers to the efforts and measures taken to safeguard areas of land that are characterized by wet or waterlogged conditions. It involves taking actions to preserve and conserve these areas from being damaged, drained, or destroyed due to human activities or natural causes. The goal is to maintain the natural habitat, biodiversity, and ecological functions of wetlands, as they play a vital role in filtering water, preventing floods, and providing homes for various plant and animal species.
