Wetlands are powerful carbon sinks because organic matter under water, with minimal exposure to oxygen, doesn’t release most of its stored carbon to the atmosphere. But wetlands have been broadly eliminated as a result of global development. Steve Apfelbaum is an eco-restoration expert and has been at the forefront of ecological remediation for almost forty years. He’ll explain the importance of wetlands in the climate equation, and how to return them to healthy abundance.
