A Study on Wetland Ecology

Environment

Wetlands are a critical part of our natural environment. They protect our shores from wave action, reduce the impacts of floods, absorb pollutants and improve water quality. They provide habitat for animals and plants and many contain a wide diversity of life, supporting plants and animals that are found nowhere else. Wetlands provide an important range of environmental, social and economic services. Many wetlands are areas of great natural beauty and many are important to Aboriginal people. Wetlands also provide important benefits for industry. For example, they form nurseries for fish and other freshwater and marine life and are critical to Australia's commercial and recreational fishing industries. Wetlands are the vital link between land and water. However, the present study has conducted to explore wetland ecology, to assess the types, characteristics and uses of wetland ecology. The study was documentary analysis type. Data and information were collected from secondary sources. Data were collected from Books, Research Reports, Journal, Thesis, Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), United Nation Development Program (UNDP), Different Annual Reports. From the study it was found that wetland ecology is essential for human being, animals for forests, flora, fauna, environment, and ecosystem. Wetland ecology is needed for conservation of biodiversity. It is also important for climate change. From the wetland ecology, human being becomes benefitted in different ways. So, man should make different wetlands for their own interest and should take care the existing wetland ecology to protect the ecosystem and environment.
