Wetlands even help fight climate change by acting as “ carbon sinks ,” absorbing climate-altering carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Wetlands—and especially the boggy wetlands known as peatlands —are incredibly effective carbon sinks, trapping and retaining almost a third of the world’s carbon.
