✓Answer
Wetlands are important ecosystems that provide a variety of benefits, including flood control, water purification, and habitat for wildlife. However, wetlands are also vulnerable to destruction, and this is a problem that is becoming more severe as the human population grows.
Two consequences of the destruction of wetlands are:
- Increased flooding due to loss of natural water-absorbing areas.
- Decreased water quality as wetlands filter pollutants from water.
