Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the vital role wetlands play in supporting waterfowl and other wildlife. It paints a vivid picture of these unique ecosystems, from seasonally flooded basins to coastal salt marshes, highlighting their diverse characteristics and importance. The author takes us on a journey through a century of wetland exploitation, exploring the historical forces that have led to their decline. We learn about the impact of legislation, drainage projects, and other human activities that have significantly altered these landscapes. Yet, amidst this sobering reality, the book offers a glimmer of hope. It emphasizes the need for cooperative planning and conservation efforts to protect and restore these critical habitats. The author underscores the inherent value of wetlands, not just for wildlife but also for water storage, flood control, and other ecological benefits.
