Wetlands may often be overlooked, but they are essential to life.
Wetlands store water during droughts, absorb floods, filter pollution and support livelihoods.
This #WorldWetlandsDay, let us honour the traditional knowledge and cultural heritage that have protected wetlands for generations.
📽️ A recent video by #HorizonEU project @purpest-eu.bsky.social unveils a new technological approach to pest detection:
📄An insightful policy brief by @efieuropeanforest.bsky.social zeroes in on the factors that underpin the EU's forest policy.
