Playas vital to Kansas ecosystem support wildlife and humans
Kansas playas in shallow basins form temporary lakes that sustain over 350 animal species and 340 plant species. They provide water for migratory birds and amphibians, filter groundwater into the Ogallala Aquifer, and even support irrigation. A state zoo shares observed wetland improvements and promotes habitat protection and education via its online and on-site resources.
