Wetlands have garnered recognition for their significant contribution to the pursuit of net-zero emissions as they can proficiently store carbon over time. However, it is imperative to note that these ecosystems emit substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. In fact, wetlands are the largest single source of methane (a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide)!
