“Your drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it…”
Paulo Coelho
A wetland is a distinct ecosystem which is flooded with water seasonly. Flooding results in anoxic soil processes prevailing, producing unique semi-aquatic vegetation. Wetlands are among the most biologically diverse zones, supporting a wide range of plant, animal and most importantly, birdlife. This particular one has supported my mental health for several decades and was my salvation during recent COVID times. Wetlands across the world are disappearing at three times the rate of our forests. Sadly, human encroachment is the issue. Luckily this one is about to be made even bigger. #aldingawashpool #letsmakelemonade
