Mitigation of Natural Spring Habitat Changes

Wetland restoration holds great promise for recovery of many amphibian species. Alteration of wetlands by humans has had one of the most substantial effects on amphibian populations. Wetlands are important components of the Earth ecosystems as they provide vital ecosystem services (i.e., water purification). Mitigation in wetlands not only benefits humans directly by helping restore clean water systems, but also provides an important habitat for many species of amphibians.
