Abstract :

Wetlands are essential for preserving the global hydrological cycle, controlling the climate, preserving ecosystem diversity, and ensuring human well-being. Humans can benefit directly from wetland ecosystems in terms of economic value in addition to indirect benefits. As a result, it is among the most significant and fruitful ecosystems. But in previous ages, people didn't value wetlands; instead, they saw them as a haven for mosquitoes, disease-carrying insects, and places to die. This led to the loss of many wetlands worldwide.
