Jamie Mackay: host of The Country on World Wetlands Day
Manage episode 354250498 series 2882353
Today is World Wetlands Day, and New Zealanders are being encouraged to preserve wetlands to celebrate.
Just 9 percent of New Zealand's original wetlands remain, and Wellington and the Bay of Plenty are down to their last 3 percent.
The Country's Jamie Mackay says we should be working harder to preserve the wetlands, as they act as nature's filter by trapping sediment and filtering nutrient run-off.
Jamie Mackay also says wetlands play a role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and filtering greenhouse gases.
