oh, fuck, seems designed to win, full motivate and in spite why have journalists under attack because democracy is under you attack the truth tellers see the world from a different perspective on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm emily anguish. this is the news, our line from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes gunman attack a camp for internally displaced in east in democratic republic of congo, killing at least 72 people. the president of guinea besides survives a coup, attempt body remains unclear. who was behind the deadly attack on the pallets. russian president vladimir putin accuses the west of lowering his country into war

. while you're a pain late is visit you crying to show support and disappearing it 3 times faster than forests on world wetlands day. we look at why fuel migratory birds traveling to india during winter? i'm joanna roscoe with sports as we build up the africa combination semi final between the kind of fast so and then ago and brazil show why they're one of the favorites to win the world cup in castle with yet another victory in qualifying. ah, we begin this news hour in the democratic republic of congo where gum and have killed at least 72 people. the attack happen data can't fail internally displaced people, me eastern province of a touring fight. it's for the co operative for the development of congo. also known

as co, suspected of organizing the range, the armed group has killed hundreds of people in the region and 40000 from their homes over the past 5 years. for more on the slates. bringing alon. what connie, who's following developments from can paula, he joins us from the fine alon. what more do we know about these attacks? yeah, they did happen in the contents. according to this culturally vision mission, a tough becomes the night of tuesday, one of the, according to the formation and the militia test, the whole, the rounded the com. then the launch of the tuck in the middle of the night using my cities and we point, this is what, what justify, well, now the large number off off to grant and the woman among the victims according to the image that you see in, at the moment many of the details for now we well so killed while trying to, to hide them step running away from the con. unfortunately,

the large number of religion will see that they would not allow the majority to serve themselves. so it's necessary to understand 1st of all the context of the environment which took place, especially the city of booley, located in the total from one of the largest territory of the touring in google defense you had, i think were mainly it's filled up with him. a community which is frequently kept by disabilities that it's not the 5th time. this is the district and up top we tough in between 2 months. why now, on different sites in this area, often to go it according to, to what you're getting from the area up to. now we have a large number of people in the house because of these to go and some of the ticket now in a few to. yeah, well we appreciate that update. thank you very much. alon,

what connie in that can paula ok, so let's take a little look at who the co fight is. the cooperative for the development of the congo is a coalition of armed groups formed in the 1970s. the group was initially set out to help the lender community in the agricultural activities in jury province pretensions with the him a try. i bled to a bloody conflict in eastern dimmer problem, democratic republic of congo, at least 50000 people were killed during the conflict between 999 and 2003. for more analysis, let's speak to his son, can n g, who is the director of the horn institute international institute for strategic studies? he joins us from nairobi. kenya, thanks for being on the news hour. there's some horrific vision coming out of that area of the east and parts of the country. what more g i you hearing about this deadly attack? i think it be put on for us to get to the big understanding of the origins on the

right. you mentioned, he actually has the soda into the colonial rate in which the assumption that the him up community was particularly now this letter on a ball to become on the nationalists religious comment kind of outfit. we very extra me so you know, kind of approach on why and the mission of what they want is not related. i think the and all the kind of dummy they've been there but to do, especially as a result in part of the joint effort by the combo lisa. and you got the troops to route out extra me element in eastern hon. this is a few tuition that he's likely to escalate. struggle, especially the snow white rhythm, coordinated our response that he's going to insure the 7 sprint. but it's essentially an nationalist that has also run into religious calmed

a more let's compare perhaps as we know, operating in congress, uganda as well as that these people in these intently despise cancer facing some horrific conditions. talk us through the environment that the victims were facing. it's extremely sad in thought because this is a region that has more than 120 groups. that region where a government is blocking why the international community. he's absent in math and not mentioning you know, that region and get better remarks, but also very, very densely populated. and so they, the, especially the idp be totally disbursed up and basically a critical moment. probably some of them are going to be killed when submission impact because access to this area is limited to hell, a lot of times a fund in between. and so a bit bad situation, i think,

called to attention of the community to try and perhaps more have a robot saying i'd initial response. especially when comes to piece nikki or the peacekeepers as well documented any. we mentioned cody car just before speaking to you, talk us through what this group is, who's involved, and whether or not there will be any retaliatory action as a result of this deadly attack. you'll most likely be talking, but these, this is also respond is actually recently ition based on the response to what has been happening against them by the joint operations i've been conducted by you've been done. and congo, o'con release bosses. now, these girls and why, you know, its origin so was go back to some of the tribes. and the protection of being favored by the government of the day, especially, you know, put on your times. it has evolved to become a very extreme outfit. and so these new ideology and extremity that they've been

able to adopt, i think, is dangerous. and it may become one of those, you know, assistant counsel in the congo that have made the entire region. what is some congo ungovernable, as well as created, must be maintained and try getting weakness and we're lucky to witness the days to come. for instance, regional countries. but the national committee cannot play a more critical role actually in trying to revise tuition. and they thank you very much for your analysis. his i'm can n g, the director of the horn institute international institute for strategic studies. thanks for having still in africa and guinea besides, president has survived an attempted coup. after a 5 hour assault on the presidential palace, o'mara, this occurred, and barlow says he's security forces stopped an attack against democracy, but many of them died alexia bryan reports, gun fire,

and guinea. the sounds capital. the president says and men attacked the presidential palace while he was inside. i was in the middle of the council of ministers with all the members, including the prime minister. and we were attacked with very heavy weaponry for 5 hours. but now everything is under control. when i was elected president, i promised to fight 2 things, corruption and drug trafficking. and this is also linked to that it guinea was how's become known as a transit point for cocaine, between latin america and europe. it's also no stranger to political upheaval if we 9 coups or attempted cuz since it gained independence from portugal in 1974 gimme be so has been a fragile state for quebec. it's because of my context property and every man that you, which it will treat just digits through shoes and the mind them mid military to please,

and he does what parties. it's not immediately clear who's behind the failed qu. some witnesses described the gunman as members of the military, others as civilians in barlow suggested, many members of the security forces had died. the waste african regional block a co ass and the un secretary general condemned what happened. we are seeing a terrible multiplication of goes the and all a stronger build is for soldiers to go back to the barracks. the president had called his cabinet together ahead of an echo us meeting on thursday to discuss a string if successful, military takeovers in the region over the past 18 months. some fear, the violence imbecile is part of a wave of copycat coups. one of the difference between the situation with him and book and fossil concent or even madam the coin mighty. is that he's

a former i is a former jim, so he, he has a obviously kept a strong dies within the armed forces. ah, some golden ballard's rise to power following the 2020 election, a qu after he claimed victory despite opposition, allegations of fraud. they've been reports of tension within his government. and in recent days had re shuttled his cabinet. huh. mallos described the latest violence as an attack on democracy and say, some of those involved have been arrested. alixia brian al jazeera plenty more head on his knees now including opponents of the military coup and me and my join ethnic group who's been finding the government decades. we look at the implications and we hear from seneca as they prepare for africa combination semi final against mccain.

and foster that's coming up in for a frances foreign minister says there are no indications. russia is ready to take action in ukraine despite its military build up on the border. russians. presidents let me put in hans, accused the west of trying to new him into war with ukraine. and his 1st public comments in nearly 6 weeks hooting says he hopes the solution can be reached to deescalate the crisis. but he says the us and its allies have ignored russia's concerns of nato expansion. eastwood's. the west has accused the kremlin of plotting to invade ukraine, with tens of thousands of soldiers massed on its border. still crane a. let's imagine that ukraine is

a member of nato stuffed with last night with modern strike system. the same as in poland and romania who will stop. and what if it starts operations in the crimea? i'm not even talking about don bass. this is sovereign russian territory. we have a team of reporters covering this worried challenge is standing by for us in london . and charles stratford is in a separatist held den, yes, in eastern ukraine, and we'll go 1st to dosa jabari in moscow. hello there. joseph prudence says there's still a chance for diplomacy. so are there any signs of the escalation from the russian camp? well, according to the officials here, they're not the ones that are escalating the current situation. they believed that they've been very clear about what they're asking from the american government and nato, and that it is really the rhetoric coming from washington that has escalated the situation to where things stand. at the moment. for his part, the russian president vladimir putin and made those comments after a 5 and

a half hour meeting with the hungarian prime minister victor or ben, who's one of the 1st leaders to visit moscow since this crisis started. and he is, of course, a part of his country's part of nato. and he said that he's in moscow as part of a piece at making operation to try and de escalate the current situation. the russian president vladimir putin took the chance to really flush out the position that his country's n and what the key sticking points are for russia. he said that ukraine is now being used as a tool for the u. s. to try and contain russia. and he also said that the key, the man's, that this country has made of the united states government when it comes to nato's expansion, to have not been addressed by the u. s. is response, which he has not received. as of last thursday, the president is currently studying those documents and going to formulate a response. in the coming days, vladimir putin was very adamant that they don't want to escalate the current situation and that dialogue and diplomacy will continue,

even though there are very big differences that are remaining. and he said it is difficult to see a solution at this point. but we have to keep that at the channels of dialogue open . so for the time being, it's really not clear how things will move forward. but what is clear is that russian authorities and president putin want to keep the channels of negotiation and dialogue open. okay, thank you very much. dosage of our live for us in moscow. let's get the ukrainian perspective now. charles struck fit his life for us in it. done yes. in the eastern part of the country, charles, you are a separatist. so wage in what's the situation an atmosphere like where you are the atmosphere is calm, but certainly when you start speaking to the authorities here and people, there is a, a growing sense of unease and tension as the space that his diplomatic solution that will hopeful continues to get smaller, bear in mind that this area, you know,

has been in a state of flux, some political instability for 8 years now. it is pretty much isolated from the rest of the world bar. russia and people are suffering incredible kind of financial and economic hardships. for example, as it's not connected to the international banking system, they change the currency from griffin or 2 roubles. it's basically a cash economy. there are hundreds of businesses that have either gone bank routes or have been abandoned. the industry here is on its knees. so as these crises continues to say, really unfold, phase and all are increasing here. and one word that is increasingly being used by people on the street is a fear of what i described was provocations. and interestingly, yesterday was announced. the authorities here announced initially that they were closing schools in the area because of a,

of an increase in covey cases. now the small name, the self declared, tonight's people's the public release, the statements on their website saying that 85 schools have been closed because they were being checked rewarded. describe this suspect potentially explosive devices around or inside these schools, which of course, it rings or suggests very much a sense of unease. and they're all kind of accusations being made about so called red flags publication by both sides when it is happening, all the same during this intense kind of diplomatic effort to find the solution. it already adds to the kind of intention in this area. i should add that the situation is called there is no visible presence of separatist fighters on the streets. the military have told us here the see there on high alert. we understand that there are lots of $75.00 is more than normal that

a fi deployed to the front line. but as i say, fears are increasing the small this window for some kind of diplomatic solution gets in day. thank you very much for that update child the stratford live for us. don't yet. okay, let's head to rory challenge now. who's lived for us in london, rory the u. k. prime minister has a phone call shadowed with the russian president lighted today. what more can you tell us about that? well, that's proof, isn't it? that the diplomatic channels are still open and still being used? how important? so what difference this particular call is going to be? what difference is going to make is an open question. i think it's interesting that this cool is happening today was actually postponed because boris johnson had to stand up in front of parliament and deal with the party gate scandal in front of his own political system. now it's interesting to think what putin makes of all

that. can you imagine a scenario in which such a situation would happen in russia, in the autocratic system, that person has created around himself over the last 20 years? not a chance. i would have to say, britain's position on all this strategic calculus is as ever a mixture of values and interests on the value side. it wants to be seen to stand up for a democratic country against an autocratic one. it wants to show to the wells that breaks it. britain is a dynamic, an integral part of, as it would like to call it the free world. then as interests it wants to bolster it ties with the united states, of course, and also with happy, new friends in eastern europe, poland, ukraine, itself, and the baltic nations. there is

a degree on that that domestic politics playing out over this bar stones would love anything to distract from the part the gate scandal that is consuming attention and the media home. and looming over everything of course is this long standing conflict of interest. london loves russian money, has done for ages and by extension of that, british politics loves russian money. it's in a problem. the british politics and the regulatory system and the u. k. has, has not dealt with over many, many, many years and it does impact the way that russia and the u. k. treat each other on the wells stage and we'll continue to do so. thank you very much for that update. we're a challenge live for us in london, appreciate them. kellen bringing pebble fell, going to how i, who's a defense and military analyst, and joins us live now from moscow. you've heard from all 3 of our correspondence.

what do you make as persons press conferences, this assign things is softening diplomatically. oh, low was a board because he personally state his opinions and he is of course. ready by definition the main. ready it's not only going anyway, the main decision maker on this crisis on policy in general. and that's important because basically with said that there is a more west don't progress, that the responses of brushes being from the west are unsatisfactory russian demands are ignored. but still russia is ready to talk, which is of course, a good thing talking about. so again, if it's talking just to kind of shift the blame on. ready the situation getting worse, and that's both sides of doing that too already. that's not, that's

a very good thing. anyways, there's going to be some kind of resolution of the quest of crisis in the coming. ready couple of weeks because you can keep the rush for standing at this very high state of alert. they are right now, and definitely they'll have to stand down as the winter and spring did you have all speaking of that resolution, is that something that person can get from the us that counts as a when other than confirmation that ukraine won't join nato? i sort of saving thanks. if you well a member of the time soon. there is no consensus with 30 nations of mate. don't you need to have everyone agree. ok. so that's not really happening. but moscow says that is not the now because even without nato membership or bio actually creating

a trip tech systems that threaten russia personally, his badge in moscow close to mosque or close to source you're somewhere. and so that's not enough. there should be bridges united states can discuss with russia, but it's not to deploy nuclear weapons state and ukraine. but again, most likely that's maybe not enough when we are right now, not really negotiating the degree of kind of the scholarship. i could happen. ready during the cuban missile crisis, i mean, they began talking and then they found a solution. how to kind of step back from the brink right now there that's not happening. that's not the very good thing. so even if there would be crisis right now, kind of down grades as a russian forces them down and creating as well. so i could do it in the beginning

several months, save my may june, where again could be in a same crisis, may be worse. talk a 3rd, the timing of all of this is all happening during the height of winter. what does that mean strategically in terms of an invasion? you said something needs to happen and say before much oh, it's the traditional, i mean, this happened during the 2nd world war in the same parts, russia, ukraine, when the germans and russians are fighting job. they're actually the same locations either 5 in the height of winter or in the summer in the winter. there's snow be dirt freezes, you couldn't move through. ready fields, dirt, roads, and the somebody could do the same when it's dry, and in the unit in the spring and in the autumn, there's a sea of mark called us in russia. in the spring of course, there's been a winter with a lot of snow in russia in your brain. that means there's going to be funding. that

means the radio means reverse creeks will. ready overflow i mean. ready you can't move. ready ready around if you're maneuvering tanks and other heavy weapons, you can do that from that happening. so it's either right now is the height of winter on the guess the oven time of the season comes when it's dry. all right, thank you very much for breaking that down for us on this news. our pebble falcon. how a defense in the military analyst. thank you. moving on now in britain's guardian newspapers says premise to parse johnson was yet was at yes. and now the leaving party, while everyone else was in lockdown last year, police are investigating 12 other drinks parties at his home johnsons refusing to resign despite an independent report which found a serious failure of leadership, a backup report from london. i hope the boys will look at their call. tina go thank

like that's. and that's a little bit embarrassing in the topsy turvy well to british politics. the lines between satire and reality of blood, kristian adams, political cartoonist for london's evening standard has made a career for mocking politicians. party gate makes it all too easy. they probably don't need politician huffmans comfortably who you control from behind and everybody nicer. yes. i think a political cartoon is, it seems serious at the same time as being a sort of trivial and funny. so i think it's good to have both of those things. rollin be too earnest, but hopefully shows up. i'm serious points. i've seen the long awaited report by senior civil servant su gray talked of a serious failure of leadership and behavior. difficult to justify criticism that lands at the prime minister's door, even though johnson isn't explicitly named. and we know there's more to come. police were investigating 12 out of 16 gatherings far more than 1st thought.

$500.00 pages of evidence and $300.00 photos are being poured over. despite all the damaging new claims and cameras from some of his m. p. 's to resign, he remains in office telling a meeting of conservative party members on monday night that he will clean up downing street and re shuffle his government for us. johnson presided over the biggest election when for any political party since 1979, a lot of his m. p. 's o their careers to him. but his brand, boris now tarnish, be on repair. in a recent snap pole, 2 thirds of voters said they wanted bars. johnson to resign. following the su gray report, 83 percent believe he broke lockdown rules. 75 percent believe he's not telling the truth. the conservative party is not even pretending it's been best in a national interest. they'll considering only i what is in their immediate lateral 14, if they think that the prime minister is an actual liability. now dispatch him,

if they think that they can muddle through the next election with him on board, and the dispatch him will be too costly and actually they'll keep him. that's it. and that really is an indictment of britain's political landscape with johnson in ukraine. the focus is back on the business of government, cabinet ministers, a king to move on. the balloons, a half, obviously, cheese in his pocket. that is next and the wine in the mini suitcase. but johnson's troubles haven't gone away. and for the satirists there would gift that keeps on giving leave barker al jazeera, westminster turn holleys covering the lightest development live from london. hello there, joanna. it's going to be yet another interesting prime minister questions today. yes and actually a combative half hour also lies ahead for bars johnson at mid day and the house of commons behind me. the questions would of course, again focus on party gate that scandal that threatens to bring is premiership down

as need was indicating that he may well have borrowed some time through the redacted release of that report by senior civil 7. see great redacted because of an ongoing police investigation, but the scandal, the crisis has certainly not died down altogether in the last hour we've heard from a senior tori mpg buys ellwood, a for a minister, but he intends later on today. so to submit his lecture of no confidence in the prime minister, now that magic number of 54 required to trigger it, no competence. boat has yet been reached mister elwood, those say, urging mister johnson to call a vote of confidence in himself rather than do the party for the jap damage by waiting for the number of 54 to arrive and meanwhile the drip drip of revelations into party gate continues the latest revelations in the papers on wednesday to concern 2 particular parties, one in january 2021 and leaving do inside downing street where it's alleged parties

. johnson attended, gave a speech. he was there for 5 minutes. only preset code was served. we're told a 2nd party up at the downing street flat in november 2020. it is said that boyce john was seen ascending the stairs to the flat to into that party essentially, where witnesses are reported to have heard loud music being played. his wife carried johnson holding a party to mock the departure of chief adviser, dominic cummings, and am fees would also, i think we try to corner the prime minister on to substantive you turns carried out by downing street this week. the 1st and initial refusal commit to releasing the full su gray report when the police investigation is over. the 2nd, an initial refusal to commit to telling the public if far as johnson is find by the police as part of their investigation, a government spokesman subsequently said downing street would do both of those things. and things in the house i think, will be very keen to hear those assurances from the prime minister himself. that's

a story that just keeps on giving china talk us through the timing of bar johnson's trip to the ukraine. and it being part of a strategy effectively to change the narrative or there are a variety of things going on at the same time. now that either look very convenient for the government or look like part of a plan strategy, as you say, to change the narrative or johnson on tuesday, shoulder to shoulder with him in the lensky, the ukrainian president. later on he speaks today on the phone to vladimir putin, of course, the russian to russian president to be tried to talk mister putin down from invading ukraine this afternoon as well. another big domestic policy announcement due on the so called leveling up agenda, empowering the neglected north of this country. very much part of the tory election manifesto that critics have said. the government has simply not done enough about it's about projecting power abroad and also fulfilling promises at home, part of that wider agenda of shoring up baris johnson's government. will it work

well again, as rory was alluding to the new newest opinion, polls very bad for the government. still 61 percent of people believe paula johnson should resign. while it's going to be very interesting and about an hour's time now that we'll cross back to you later in the day, jenna hall live for us in london. a . hello. are you watching out there? i'm emily, angling reminder of our top stories. this our gum and in the democratic republic of congo have killed at least 72 people in a camp for the internally displaced. spot is from the group known as protocol, suspected to be behind the res in the eastern provinces to re gimme the south president tomorrow, so co em. barlow says he survived and attempted to after gunman attacks the government. tell us on tuesday, the president says the situation is now under control. and rushes president has

accused the west of trying to new him into war with you. crime. vladimir putin says he wants to resolve the crisis. frances foreign minister says there is no indication russia is ready to take action from a fresh water to food security. healthy wetlands are an essential element of human survival, but they're being lost at an alarming rate, making them the most threatened acre system on the planet. disappearing 3 times faster than forests, he's in the clock on what's at stake as the united nations months will whitland stay for the 1st time. biological super system supporting extraordinary by diversity as rich as rain, forests and coral. reese and home to 40 percent of the world species, they are an essential foundation of the planet food where they protect our coast lines, cleanse polluted water and recharge aquifers. and the wetlands are the source of

almost all of the world's supply. of fresh water are also incredibly effective at capturing carbon emissions, in some cases, storing it $55.00 times faster than tropical rain forests. they are a critical element in the fight against climate change. but over the last 300 years, it's estimated 87 percent of the world's wetlands have been lost. more than a 3rd of those since 1970, driven by unsustainable water extraction. encroaching openings ation and expanding farmland. latin america has seen the highest rate of loss in that time. 60 percent . well, 42 percent of wetlands had been destroyed in africa and only a 3rd of european wetland that existed a 100 years ago. a still here today, experts say a concerted effort is needed to save all swamps, bogs, marshes, and mangroves to protect not only extraordinary by diversity, but also a critical part of humanities, life support system. and in northern india has been

a major pit. stop so many birds migrating from central asia and parts of europe during the harsh northern winter. but vanishing wetlands, as we heard from nick clark and into grading habitats, have led to fewer birds making that journey. had me michel reports from new jelly on this cold foggy morning. a gaggle of gray ladies is perched on an islet. they're mostly found in northern europe. but this time of year leave that icy climate and flock to northern india, her habitat, to the college of the part to lord len depends on okay, because systems, how much functioning properly functioning, non functioning, are kind of degrading that also because her water boots are also the natural environmental indicator of the hilt of disorder. woodland. every winter, hundreds of species migrate from the arctic to south asia, along the route called the central asia fly. re india has the largest diversity of waterfowl in the region. but over the years, the habitats have degraded,

and numbers have dwindled. this stretch of the yamuna river in new delhi is one of the most polluted in the world. it's also i see those from siberia spend the winter . i'll miley is an avid bird watcher and participate in the bud census every year. what i have a job here it is here in the old community right now in the recent years is because of the lot, none of the maintenance of the places. what a little are in a bad shape, because are they were not, are they can get of the police side. they said global warming has destructive road migration patterns with many to reward or sing for those who have made the long journey to the winter homes are either through them through or like this river become more tough. india's home to more than 200000 wetlands. but human activity like dumping waste construction and agriculture have damaged or destroyed large parts of them. it's all to one. major cities have been increasingly inundated

during the monsoon season. so flood modernism. i'll definitely say it is, it may the miserable in flood, motivate them apart from the medicinal climate, disney birds, and at the same day, because not only they go through, some sort of resume, are put away large salsa livelihood, opportunity to local people, birdwatchers, hook their annual census will lead to better conservation policies. they hope for more government funding and better protections. their efforts are slowly bearing fruit avenue, middle al jazeera new delhi. let's bring in that jane at maj wake. she's the chief executive officer at wetlands international and joins us from banging i in the netherlands. hello there, jane. thanks for being on the program. we often hear about the environmental threat to oceans and forests. but as we've been hearing wetlands had just as important, why haven't we heard about this up until this point?

yes, that is true as the crisis of wetlands has been largely overlooked. whereas in fact, you know, weapons are supporting a big proportion of nature on this planet. on the part of the fabric of the earth, i suppose. so that just quality. getting on with the job, stowing out carbon, purifying water, and many people have big become unaware that the water coming out of the tap actually is, is router that landed somewhere in a wetland that has been delivered to by weapons. and the us, these are being lost. yeah, we're starting to feel the impacts are so, and i think now there is a growing realization that these precious water systems across the planet are really vital, not only for nature but for our good health and our likelihoods. and not least to protect us from the ravages of climate change. it's jenny mentioned some of the

reasons why it's so important to protect wetlands. talk us through about why they help us fight climate change. why they so important in the fight against climate change? yeah, well nature in general is, is going to do a better job than the concrete folk. some who are protecting us from storms and sea level rise. but in fact, wetlands, especially people and some mangrove stay are the most efficient at capturing carbon . the story, not that carbon for the long term. so they're much better at that and even for us, which many people are aware of us. so it's, it's for this reason that the relatively small area of the planet, but doing such a crucial jaw. but if you drain the wetlands a tool or disturb them, then they start playing that function, bye well. and the other reason is the while wetlands along the coast,

like salt marshes, martin grows, for example. they actually buy her cities and land formed storms and sea level, rice and then wetlands, for example, in the high mountains. and they all store in woods or if they are allowed to, to be in good condition, they're capturing and bring water in those times of giant. so in these ways they are cooling the planet and they're helping to prevent humanitarian disasters. they certainly sound incredibly important. so what would happen if we join protect our wetlands? what will be the impact on humans and animals alike? exactly what's happening now. we're losing a fresh would a species every day that they're going extinct were saying, clubs, drives fires in every continent. this is only going to get worse, so it's absolutely essential that we turn this around. we know how to do it. the science is quite good. the experience is good,
