It is clear wildlife, and people, will increasingly suffer from extreme weather such as flooding in winter and in hotter, drier summers. Long-term changes in the UK’s climate put wildlife under stress, altering the habitats they live in and the food they rely on. These changes will result in native wildlife species disappearing if the countryside, particularly wetlands, aren’t managed to combat climate change.

abstract	It is clear wildlife, and people, will increasingly suffer from extreme weather such as flooding in winter and in hotter, drier summers. Long-term changes in the UK’s climate put wildlife under stress, altering the habitats they live in and the food they rely on. These changes will result in native wildlife species disappearing if the countryside, particularly wetlands, aren’t managed to combat climate change. The Wildlife Trusts’ partnership projects, through Water for Wildlife, restore and recreate large areas, promoting natural processes such as grazing, flood storage and peat generation, and have a positive impact on local land and water management. Wetlands help protect us against flooding, encourage long-term water storage underground, help with reducing soil erosion, cleaning up pollution and storage of carbon dioxide. All this provides a major benefit in dealing with the impacts of climate change and reducing the causes. The Wildlife Trusts aim to raise awareness of the beautiful and sensitive network of rivers and wetlands - home to an array of wildlife such as the otter, water vole and kingfisher - by highlighting current and completed large scale projects throughout the UK. The Wildlife Trusts work particularly closely with local water industries and the Environment Agency to take care of these rich habitats and the species they support. Chris Rostron, water for wildlife manager at The Wildlife Trusts: "The British Isles still have some of the finest examples of wetland habitats in Europe. There are also major opportunities for restoring damaged rivers and wetlands. We need to take care of these rich habitats and the species they support. They benefit us all. Everyone can play a part, enjoy and appreciate experiencing wetlands by becoming involved in conservation; through volunteering, becoming a member of The Wildlife Trusts or simply attending local events."
