A new study, published in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05572-6"><i>Nature</i></a><i>,</i> has found that the loss of wetland areas around the globe since 1700 has likely been overestimated. This is good news overall, however, the global picture hides significant variations, with several regions and distinct wetland types under significant levels of pressure. For instance, temperate river floodplains have been highly impacted while remote boreal-arctic peatlands remain comparatively unharmed.</p> Thu, 06 May 2021 13:53:49 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 263706 at /newsroom /newsroom/gail-l-chmura Wed, 23 Dec 2020 21:49:37 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 254385 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/new-global-wetlands-map-241106 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 23:35:42 +0000 melody.enguix@mcgill.ca 21886 at /newsroom
