$Wetlands are nature's kidneys, and birds are their tireless ambassadors. From elegant waders to vibrant waterfowl, these feathered residents play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of these fragile ecosystems. They aid in seed dispersal, nutrient cycling, and pest control, all while signaling the health of their habitat. Protecting wetlands isn’t just about conserving birds—it’s about safeguarding a sustainable future for all life on Earth.\nLocation: Ranthambore, Rajasthan (India)$
