​Aquatic Ecosystems

National Wetland Conservation Project
In Canada, wetlands feed and provide habitat for an abundance of birds, mammals, fish, and other aquatic species. These same wetlands also provide huge health and economical benefits for people across the country by protecting against floods and erosion, improving water quality, feeding water into streams, replenishing groundwater supplies, and the list goes on. It is for these reasons that we need to work together to conserve and enhance our wetland ecosystems. In order to accomplish this, Environment Canada's National Wetland Conservation Fund supports projects centred around the restoration and enhancement of wetlands and scientific activities in support of wetland conservation. 

Here at Plenty Canada, we are supporting these activities through efforts that combine Western Science and Traditional Indigenous Knowledge. Wetlands and the species that they support are of material and cultural importance to Indigenous people and many of the species found in these ecosystems have profound ecological and cultural significance and values. An example of this is Wild Rice, a culturally significant plant species that grows in wetland aquatic ecosystems and is a traditional food source for Aboriginal peoples.
