2-b, Answer

Definition of wetlands: Regions of marsh, fen, peat land, or water, whether organic or artificial,
long-lasting or momentary, with still or moving water, brackish or salt, including coastal areas
whose depth at low tide does not exceed six meters.

Wetlands were frequently considered sacred locations within the boundaries of ancient
indigenous Australian communities. These particular locations were connected to one or more
religious totems as well as the mythical creatures who gave origin to these locations from the
beginning of time. The conservation of wetlands, which continue to be one of the planet's most
vital life support systems, has been identified as a crucial worldwide concern for the twenty-first
century.
