Mapping Wetland Loss Across Three Centuries
An analysis by Etienne Fluet-Chouinard, a limnologist at ETH Zurich and team suggests that around 21% of Earth’s wetlands have been lost since preindustrial times, but that number could be as high as 35%..."This sort of analysis could help point to an appropriate baseline for wetland restoration efforts," Fluet-Chouinard said. The COP15 Convention on Biological Diversity set a goal of protecting 30% of Earth’s ecosystems, but it uses the 1970s as a baseline. For wetlands, “by 1970, the show [was] over,” he said. “It [was] already an impoverished world in 1970.”
