Bending the Curve of Global Freshwater Biodiversity Loss: An Emergency Recovery Plan.

Despite their restricted spatial extent, freshwater ecosystems host exceptional biodiversity, together with one-third of all vertebrate species. This biodiversity is declining dramatically: Globally, wetlands are vanishing 3 times quicker than forests, and freshwater vertebrate populations have fallen greater than twice as steeply as terrestrial or marine populations. Threats to freshwater biodiversity are properly documented however …
