Dear fellow New Zealander

Our wetlands are facing a crisis. These wild places abound with life and their inhabitants are familiar to us all. However, over 90% of our wetlands are gone and many of our plants and animals now face severe threats. The Department of Conservation can not save everything, and the losses are still mounting. You can help save our precious wetlands.

Wetlands are crucial for a healthy environment, and their benefits touch us all. They:

• produce clean water for people and animals
  
  
• reduce the impacts of floods and droughts
  
  
• help keep rivers flowing and recharge underground water
  
  
• provide recreation for thousands of people
  
  
• are home to 60 species of birds (not to mention fish)
