Wonderful Wetlands Swamps, marshes, and bogs are all wetlands. Each is different, though. Each is home to different kinds of plants and animals. Each forms its own unique ecosystem. Yet they’re all important. Plants and animals need these wetlands to
survive. Wetlands give them food and shelter. We also need wetlands. Tey clean up our water. Tey help keep the planet healthy.
