🌍💧 Happy World Wetlands Day! 💧🌍

Today, we celebrate the important role wetlands play in our planet’s health. From filtering water and supporting biodiversity to helping combat climate change, wetlands are vital ecosystems we can’t afford to lose.

According to the United Nations, wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests and are Earth’s most threatened ecosystem. "Human activities that lead to the loss of wetlands include drainage and infilling for agriculture and construction, pollution, overfishing and overexploitation of resources, invasive species and climate change."

Check out The Collective Tap season 4 Episode 2 to hear more about wetlands and what we can do to support them.

The White River Report Card is an assessment and communication tool to measure community progress, align partners and activities, and inspire change that improves our river and its watershed and protects our economy and way of life.

Watershed report cards are assessment and communication tools that have been used around the world to compare ecological, social, and/or economic information against predefined goals or objectives. Similar to school report cards, watershed report cards provide performance-driven numeric and letter grades to effectively integrate and synthesize large, often complex, information into simple scores that can be communicated to decision makers and the general public to help guide community activity and public policies.

Tune in to learn more at The Collective Tap podcast to learn more! We discuss the White River Report Card in Season 5 Episode 1!
