  Wetlands are unique habitats for special organisms which are only found there like the ones you have identified. In addition, wetlands are becoming an important ecosystem for carbon sequestration as the soil reservoir can store carbon for long periods of time.

  Excellent Haydn. Your family is already practicing some effective solutions to reduce the emissions of methane into the atmosphere. Methane has a global warming potential (GWP) that is about 28 - 36 times greater than carbon dioxide. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the global body of scientists working together to keep track of this information. They keep a list of all GHG GWPs.
