lang=EN-US>Somerset</SPAN></B></SPAN></SPAN><B><SPAN lang=EN-US>’s ‘super

significant.</SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-US> Christian Dunn, senior lecturer in
natural sciences at <SPAN>Bangor</SPAN> <SPAN>University</SPAN>,
<SPAN><SPAN>Wales</SPAN></SPAN>, explains why. Wetlands are the superheroes of
the natural world. They are crammed with wildlife, protect our coastlines, keep
our rivers clean, and store climate-changing amounts of carbon. Yet through much
of history they have been at best ignored and at worst vilified and destroyed.
In recent years public campaigns and money have been thrown at tree planting and
reforestation, yet hardly a mention was given to restoring the
<SPAN><SPAN>UK</SPAN></SPAN>’s bogs, swamps and marshes. But a quick scan
through famous literature, paintings and even films and TV series will show you
how often wetlands feature as the unpleasant, sinister backdrop of dark
storylines. Fortunately, things are now changing. This was highlighted with the
recent announcement of a 15,000-acre </SPAN><A

as a whole will benefit. <A style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
