Wetlands for holiday purposes are an important area of environmental protection, and different countries and experts have different definitions of wetlands. The commonly used term refers to '; Long term or temporary swamps, peatlands, or water areas, or freshwater, brackish, or saline water bodies, including water bodies not exceeding 6 meters at low tide;. Due to its important role in maintaining water sources, resisting floods, controlling pollution, regulating climate, and maintaining biodiversity. Chinese scientists define wetlands as ecosystems formed by perennial or seasonal accumulation of water (within a depth of 2 meters for more than 4 months) and excessively wet land on land, along with the populations of organisms that grow and inhabit it. Common natural wetlands include marshes, peatlands, shallow lakes, river beaches, coastal mudflat and salt marshes. Wetlands have a strong function of regulating groundwater, which can effectively store water and resist flood peaks; It can purify sewage and regulate regional microclimate; Wetlands are also important habitats for aquatic animals, amphibians, birds, and other wildlife. Wetlands, along with forests and oceans, are known as the three major ecosystems in the world, nurturing and enriching biodiversity worldwide. They are often likened to; The Kidney of the Earth;. However, due to people cultivating wetlands or changing their use, the ecological environment has been severely damaged. Such as exacerbating flood disasters, showing a clear trend of aridification, and a sharp decrease in biodiversity.
