Wetlands are

areas where water covers the 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,
success?
how would you monitor its

1.Scientist need to think about it because there may be too many wetlands in the same place 2.It might affect them because it can be to close to someone’s house and something can happen 3.it can affect wildlife because birds or any other animal can get stuck in it. 4. If I had one I will make kinda of small so people don’t have to see it. I would monitor it by checking the wetland every week.

Answer:

I think its great that farmland is being converted to wetlands, wetlands reduce the amount of co2 in the air and prevent floods. Some factors scientist need to consider is how wetlands can affect civillians as wetlands can lure dangerous animals such as alligators. Converting farmland to wetland would be successful due to the fact that wetlands can provide shelter to animals and can reduce co2 in the air, I recommend researching the topic further and to take my word with a grain of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom explanation might be a little worse due to the fact that I want it to be somewhat different from the top one, both explanations work fine in my opinion but the top one is better.

Another great explanation is: I believe wetlands are amazing for the enviroment as they prevent floods and give shelter to animals, wetlands can't really affect civillians negatively other then dangerous animals. I would most likely moniter its success by seeing how much water the wetland can hold, if it can hold an average amount then I would say the restoration was successful.
