Question

soil. Swamps, marshes, and other wetland areas help to control flooding because they naturally hold water. Wetland regeneration is a recent trend in conservation. In some areas, land previously used for farming is being converted into wetlands. Research wetlands, the types of organisms that live there, and examples of wetland restoration and regeneration. Then answer these questions: What factors do scientists need to consider before turning farmland into wetlands? How could wetland restoration affect humans who live in the area? How might it affect native wildlife? (Consider both positive and negative consequences.) If you were planning a wetland regeneration project, how would you monitor its success?

Answer 1

Restoring farmlands to wetlands consists of a lot of pro and cons. Firstly, they should consider that wetlands will greatly filter carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gases. Wetlands restoration would probably affect the lives of the nearby human residents negatively. This is due to the fact that wetlands provides an optimal habitat to wild animals especially dangerous carnivores like alligators. The regeneration project will expand the habitats of animals, and clean the water system but it will remove the nutrients from the soil. 

Answer 2

Factors scientists need to consider before turning farmland into wetlands is ecological issues and physical limitations. Also they should question will the wetlands increase wildlife diversity and is the loss of habitat of any endangered species worth it? Wetlands can be very beneficial for animals and humans. Wetlands provide a lot of food that attract many animal species. The wetlands are used by animals for their life cycle. Wetland can create a natural water quality improvement, flood protection, shoreline erosion control, opportunities for recreation and aesthetic appreciation and natural products for our use at no cost. Some cons about wetlands is you aren't allowed by law to build on wetlands. As for animals and humans, wetlands have many diseases in them so it's a big risk for animals and people. If i were to plan a wetland regeneration project id monitor its success by seeing if it is helping stop over-flooding, if our natural products have increased and as well as to see if animals are increasing or decreasing.

Hope That help :)
