Yesterday was World Wetlands Day, and well along we bring you some bad news Forest & Bird have found that the majority of wetlands on private land around New Zealand remain unprotected.

A series of aerial images from around the country showed how freshwater wetlands on private land have completely or partially disappeared from 2001-2016.

With more than ninety percent of New Zealand’s original wetlands already destroyed, what’s left is incredibly important.
