Conservation banking was modeled after the U.S. wetland mitigation banking system and the two

Many wetlands are beginning to die out. Look at the everglades for example they’ve been here for 5000 years! Back then they were pretty and all new, but now it is starting to look like the famous scene from the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Ark" says the article "Are the Everglades Forever? My first reason is that Its majestic waters will turn into swampy waters filled with snakes and who knows what. Also if wetlands die out there will be habitat loss until they cannot find home and eventually dies out plus people are releasing animals out into the wild which is not a good thing because then animals start to compete for food The final reason we should care about wetland is that they provide thing for us to such as the everglades provides

These wetlands can be protected if humans reduce pollution amounts. Many wetlands are affected by pesticides and fertilizers, among other pollutants, clogging up the waters. Another thing which is harming wetlands is when people drain them or get rid of them to make way for open land. People can help by either joining a cause which preserves wetlands or by making sure rivers and streams become pollution-free zones so that the organisms living there can continue to survive.

Wetland Restoration- involves creating conditions that are favorable for the development of wetlands (marshes or swamps). Wetlands are able to store large volumes of water which helps to reduce the discharge in a river. Wetlands don’t reduce flooding where they are located but rather downstream of the river. They have the added benefit of creating new habitats for animals and greatly increasing biodiversity. They reduce the area of land available for farming though which makes them unpopular among

A wetland is an area of land that retains it water on it surface as in swamps, marshes, and bogs. Although we would prefer to keep the wetlands they are being destroyed very rapidly. Louisiana loses about 25- 35 square miles of wetlands each year. By 2050 it’s estimated that the annual loss of fishing income due to coastal wetland erosion will be around $550 million dollars of revenue.

According to Richard Stroup, a free-market advocate, there is need to reform the Endangered Species Act to ensure that endangered species are our friends and not foes. Private ownership is the number one problem for the Endangered Species Act(Nelson, 2006). Of all the endangered species, especially in the US, are dependent on habitats that are privately owned. In order to avert the problem of loss of diversity, then, the focus should be on developing strategies that effectively work on privately owned land. Both the mainstream environmentalists and free-market advocates argue that the current status results in persistent incentives that produce objectionable results

Based on the information in this factsheet on wetlands, I would say that I personally side for protecting and preserving wetlands. Wetlands are natural environments all across the earth that are homes to several species of plant and animal life. The animal life may consist of herbivores that we as humans may consume on a daily or weekly basis. The plant life consists of many plants that depend on the environment as well as other neighboring and surrounding plants for their life, as per the concepts and theories of photosynthesis. Plants also help to better air quality as well. Why would we want to destroy their homes, the very organisms that help to better our homes? The factsheet states that many people oppose the preservation of wetlands

A conservation is an area of an ecosystem or nature that is being protected and preserved. The first half of the article describes four phases that have framed conservation and the time periods they take place in. These phases have great distinction between one another. They tell of how each conservation was perceived in that time and the science underpinning in them. The second half of the article discusses how the conservations can meet a happy middle of the four framing phases. The issue is ongoing but humans are figuring out what to do with conservations now.

When we think of nature, many do not know that solutions exist within nature itself. Albert Einstein once said “Look Deep into Nature, and then you will understand everything better”. The importance of protecting natural ecosystems has never been brought to light as much as in present day today. Humans are now trying to figure out ways to restore and protect natural ecosystems. I’m absolutely certain that we will succeed in protecting and restoring these natural ecosystems, we have the tools and technology to help us affirm and improve human life. Others must agree that humans have greatly fiddled and impacted the earth’s natural ecosystem in numerous ways. I really feel that the best way to deal with these problems is to focus on the natural systems that have the greatest effect towards the other natural communities. In other words, the community that holds the other communities together. As Da Vinci stated, “Everything is connected to everything else”. The wetlands are a natural community that is commonly overlooked. Many do not know how significant this community is. The tidal marshes became the most appealing when I discovered how this natural community plays a role in cleansing other natural ecosystems and controlling the water flow. The time has come to take action in truly understanding how important this natural community is and how essential it is to preserve and

Wetlands in particular are subject to the threats this issue presents. Land degradation refers to any form of deterioration that influences the productivity of the land. This includes loss of topsoil and vegetation, which, when wetlands are concerned can result in a decrease in water quality, poor soil conditions and loss of habitat (Local Land Services, n.d). Clearing of vegetation, human activity such as urbanisation and tourism, contamination through the use of pesticides and fertilisers as well as the presence of invasive animal and plant species such as Water Buffalo, Cane Toads and Mimosa (Department of Environment and Heritage Protection,

The second solution that can help improve bird conservation worldwide would be to reserve particular land to save birds. By creating land to save rare birds and establishing benefits for migratory birds is very important. Providing a place for species to live and save the extinction in these birds. The goal is to create a new reserve land to expand existing homes to conserve all endangered bird species

In the 1600’s, there were approximately 220 million acres of wetlands in the forty-eight states (Dahl 1990). Since then, the numbers have been dropping drastically. In 1980, an estimated number of 103.3 million acres of wetlands were left (Dahl and Johnson 1991). That’s a 53% decrease! (See Figure 3.5) Most states have lost around 50% of their wetlands, but others such as Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, and Ohio have lost about 80%.

During the process, there are certain commitments made by Proponent for Environmental management, in which 3rd commitment is particularly related to the wetland management which ensures to focus on the minimisation of impacts on the wetland and make sure that there is no harm to environment. The commitments are as under:

Natural Resource outcomes: Historically, the Cache la Poudre River was characterized by high spring flows and periodic floods, followed with low flows in the fall. After colonization of the river, reinforcing banks and regulating peak flows caused the native flora and fauna to retreat and allow non-native species to move in, for native species thrived on the periodic floods. By restoring the Poudre back to it’s native sinuosity and original floodplain, we expect the riparian zone to be restored back to full health. Native forbs, grasses and trees will return to strengthen the river bank and restore historic ecological processes. Wildlife such as mule deer and raptor species will also benefit from this restoration and return to their habitat. Following the restoration, we will continue to implement the raptor managing project by providing limited river access for certain times in the year to protect nesting raptors such as bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and great horned owls.

It is clear that for developing countries wetland are very important ecologically, because the serves as habitat for a variety of animals.

Biodiversity offsets aim for a ‘No Net Loss’ of biodiversity, by balancing the loss in one area, at one time, with a biodiversity gain in another, conserved area (BBOP, 2012; Apostolopoulou and Adams, 2015). For example, if an area of forest is removed, this could be compensated by ensuring the protection or reforestation of trees in another area (Apostolopoulou and Adams, 2015). Currently, offsets are being used in many areas across the world, (references) but their success is often reported to be uncertain due to problems in their design or implementation (Quintero & Mathur, 2011; Bull et al., 2013). Therefore, although offsets alone may not be enough, a combined approach with landscape-level conservation planning (LLCP) may allow industrial development to work synergistically with conservation (Bull et al., 2013). In LLCP, conservation goals are identified for either a specific species, community or ecological process. From there, the goals are used systematically to ascertain a set of areas, that once protected, would meet these conservation goals. For example, a study undertaken by Underwood (2009) compared the impacts to conservation projects when using a combination of LLCP with biodiversity offsets, to areas using only offsets, in San Diego Country, USA. He discovered that this combined approach was significantly more effective than offsets alone as there was a higher success rate of conservation for nearly all species of concern.
