$Show your love for wildlife and add your name for clean water.🩵 Most people don’t know this...but Illinois only has about 10% of its original wetlands left. Yes, you read that correctly. Despite working at a fraction of their original size, wetlands sustain everything. They support the habitats of salamanders and frogs, filter pollution and make clean drinking water possible! Now, a proposed change to the Clean Water Act could strip wetlands of key federal protections when we need them most. It’s up to all of us to speak up for our blue planet and defend local waterways.🗣️ Add your name to our petition: https://win.newmode.net/johngsheddaquarium/cleanwateract #sheddaquarium #conservation #wetlands$
