Wetlands are climate change warriors. They protect us and —if we listen, observe and ponder — they can teach us how to be better human beings. Wetlands are forgiving. We once dismissed, marginalized and destroyed them, but they have continued to work on our behalf to protect us, our children, grandchildren, and future generations. When we commit to restoration work, seeds dormant for a century will begin to emerge. The life pulse of water will begin to find its way back to where it wants to be. Migrating waterfowl will pause on their great migration journey.

Restoration work at the Montezuma Wetlands Complex can be a model for wetlands worldwide.
