  6. World-first trial finds floating wetlands can cut greenhouse gas emissions
    By Jack Colantuono, Zaida Glibanovic, and Mim Hook

    A floating garden of native plants in Victoria's east cuts a wastewater lagoon's emissions by about 30 per cent, with researchers now testing the approach on farm dams.

  16. [Science News] Located in the tropics, #Indonesia is one of the world’s wettest regions. But the massive construction of #irrigation canals, the draining of #peatlands and oil palm #plantations have gradually dried up the wetlands. The drying out of these landscapes, combined with the return of El Niño, is leading to an increase in peat fires that release massive clouds of toxic smoke... sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Edmunds Marsh, Washington State, is a 22.5-acre (9-hectare) urban wetland. While I was there taking pictures, I ran into a reclamation crew removing invasive Wizards Nightshade (Circaea lutetiana). We had a long talk about the stream ecosystem there. Apparently, if it isn't cleared out, the area turns into a bog. He pointed to huge hedges of the plant smothering other plants further in, but in an area where he wasn't allowed to go.

  27. ‘This place wanted to be a #wetland’: how a farmer turned his fields into a #WildlifeSanctuary

    Once, Karl Wenner’s #Oregon land leaked pollution into a nearby lake. Now, 70 acres are home to waterfowl, turtles and endangered fish

    by Gabrielle Canon in #KlamathFalls
    Sun 22 Oct 2023

    "#Birdsong hums over the rumble of Karl Wenner’s truck as it bounces along the dusty trails that weave through his property. For almost 100 years, this farm in southern Oregon grew barley, but now, amid the sprawling fields, there lies a wetland teeming with life.

    "Wenner installed the wetland on 70 of the farm’s 400 acres to help deal with phosphorus pollution that leaked into the adjacent Upper #KlamathLake after his land flooded each winter. With support from a team of scientists and advocates, the project has become a welcome sanctuary for migrating and native birds that are disappearing from the area.

    "Today, this corner of #LakesideFarms looks far different from a typical American farm. Waterfowl nest among the vegetation, joining pond turtles and even endangered native fish near rows of sprouting barley.

    "Looking out at the swaying cattails and wocus plants peeking through the water on an afternoon in June, Wenner beams: 'This place wanted to be a wetland.' "

  28. #UK - #Rewilded land remains green amid drought-stricken English countryside, images show

    Sandra Laville
    Fri 21 Aug 2026

    Excerpt: "Aerial footage of an estate in Somerset has revealed the benefits of #rewilding land in the face of #ExtremeWeather brought about by the climate crisis.

    "The area of the #NationalTrust’s #HolnicoteEstate where rivers have been returned to their natural courses and #wetlands have been restored have remained green and lush during the five heatwaves across the summer. In contrast, the surrounding countryside has become parched and brown.

    "The two interventions are significant #rewilding projects and provide strong evidence that #NatureBasedSolutions can protect against wildfires. This contradicts claims by some rightwing commentators, who have blamed rewilding for causing #wildfires.

    " 'Nature is providing solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today,' said Ben Eardley, the project manager at the Holnicote estate. 'For generations as a nation we’ve drained wetlands, straightened rivers and moved water off the land as quickly as possible. Here, we’ve reversed that approach and the results are remarkable.

    " 'By reconnecting river systems with the surrounding area and creating natural sponges in the landscape, we’ve created a system that stores water during #drought, keeping wetlands and the surrounding habitats healthy, and slows water during storms and periods of extreme rainfall, helping to protect villages from the risk of flooding downstream.'

    "Eardley said the same natural processes that helped wildlife recover were also helping communities adapt to #ClimateBreakdown.

    "More than 90% of the UK’s wetlands have been lost over the last century and restoring the habitats to make them wet again is becoming increasingly important for #ClimateAdaptation, #WaterSecurity and #NatureRecovery.

    "Harry Bowell, the National Trust’s director of land and nature, called on the government to boost its efforts to invest in nature-based solutions to help the country become more resilient."

    India Safari Holiday Tours: A Complete Guide to India’s Wild Side

    India's wildlife is not the wide-open savannah of Africa, and that is exactly what makes it so fascinating. Here, a safari can take you through sal forests, dry grasslands, bamboo thickets and wetlands where a tiger may appear without warning. For travellers planning an India safari holiday, the experience is about far more than spotting a Bengal tiger. It can include leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, crocodiles, hundreds of bird species and the landscapes and communities that surround […]
