Wetlands are often overlooked, yet they are essential for sustaining life on Earth. These saturated areas, which include marshes, swamps, and bogs, are crucial for maintaining ecological stability. They support a diverse array of plants and animals, highlighting their significance in understanding the overall well-being of our environment.

Wetlands are regions of land where water is present either permanently or seasonally. They encompass a variety of ecosystems, including marshes, swamps, and bogs. Wetlands play a critical role in supporting a wide range of plant and animal species, providing habitats, and performing vital ecological functions such as water purification, flood control, and carbon storage. Some examples of wetland areas in Nigeria are the Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands in the northeast, the Omo Forest Reserve in the southwest, the Lake Chad Basin, and the Lekki Conservation Centre in Lagos State.
