Zine day! More wetland babies :). Next week we take a break and I show you what I've learned in about my new baby snake, and some stuff about worms, and maybe grubs and slugs.

Colored pencil drawing of a firefly, a monarch on milkweed, a salamander, and a violet with information that reads:

The acidity of the water means not many amphibians like them, with a few exceptions such as the leopard frog, spotted salamander, and wood frogs. A few turtles and snake species can be found as well. These wetlands are full of insects though, and they thrive. This is good news for breeding birds, even seed eating species need insects for protein to feed to their young.

Wetlands benefit humans as well. They can prevent flooding inland, provide a reservoir that filters water into local aquifers for our well and city water, cleaning it of pollutants for our consumption, and clean the water coming from the land of silt, pollutants, and debris that can damage river and ocean ecosystems. 

Unfortunately, wetlands are on the decline. Some are drained for agricultural use and commercial property, and many companies want to get their hands on peat and don’t worry about how long it took the wetland above the peat to form, or what a valuable resource the wetlands themselves are.

With urban sprawl pushing wildlife into these areas already, the shrinking habitat means fierce competition for food and breeding space. Native species are getting crowded out. Many wetland species are at risk, including several species of carnivorous plants.

I posted a looping gif of an oyster mushroom releasing its spores and a lot of people liked it, so I thought I'd mention I put up the original unedited footage in 4k on my YouTube.

I like to occasionally boost my old post about this article, but I wanted to make a new one. See, the thing is, I think you need to read this. Especially if you are tired of fighting the good fight.

You have done good. Yes you. I mean it.

Macro of Drosera capensis, the cape sundew. Simple, pink, five petaled flowers in a chain, the open flowers at the top of the arch, unopened buds below, and withering buds on the other side, ripening to seed.
