== Class proyect: wetland as a piece of living environmental art and research == | |||
A natural wetland is an area of land saturated with water, where the water table is at or near the surface. These ecosystems are characterized by the presence of water-loving plants and a high degree of biological productivity.Building your own natural wetland or pond can offer numerous environmental benefits. | |||
Creating a wetland or pond can provide a habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including birds, amphibians, fish, and insects. This supports local biodiversity and promotes ecological balance. Wetlands naturally filter and purify water by trapping sediments, absorbing pollutants, and breaking down organic matter, improving water quality in the surrounding area. They can act as natural sponges, effectively managing stormwater runoff and reducing the risk of flooding. Wetlands store carbon in their plant biomass and soil, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. | |||
Additionally, building a pond is a rewarding project that keeps you engaged for quite some days. Observing the pond during its growth process is fantastic, offering much to see, smell, listen to, and track. Once you’ve set the pond, you’ll see it become self-sustaining, providing a wealth of experiences in return. | |||
Hereunder you can find some photos of our process and research. | |||

== Wetland's first month anniversary == | |||
We created a small zine to help spread the word about creating your own wetland in simple steps and the importance of biodiversity and nature in urban or human spaces. | |||
The publication also celebrated the first month of life of our wetland and was first distributed in the 30th anniversary of the Faculty of Art and Design. | |||
