Status and Trends of Wetlands Conterminous United States, 2009-2019

The 6th decadal report on the status and trends of wetlands in the US is out. From 2009-2019 we lost 221K acres of wetlands. This is a 50% increase in loss compared to last decade. So, our efforts to conserve and restore wetlands need to be redoubled. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/631d...

Our new Yellowstone National Park study, summarizing 20 years of work, is getting some good press!
