Wetlands at risk amid IPCC warming warnings
Ducks Unlimited researchers warn that IPCC findings on climate change threaten wetlands essential for water quality, flood control, and wildlife habitat. The boreal region and Prairie wetlands face altered ecosystems, rising seas, and drier, warmer conditions that may reduce soil moisture and duck breeding grounds while wetlands help trap carbon and protect water quality.
