What are wetlands?      Natural wetlands are saturated with water year-round or seasonally, providing a habitat for aquatic vegetation. They can hold a lot of water and release it slowly, making them useful in dealing with harsh weather like floods and droughts.

       China's officials have taken extraordinary measures to reduce education costs in recent weeks. Many surveys have identified this as the primary reason why many couples choose to have only one child together. Couples with a plan to restructure the booming personal training business may be ordered to move non-income following press reports in China. China's one-child policy, implemented by former President Deng Xiaoping in 1980, stayed in place until 2016.      Fears of a growing increasing population limiting economic growth pushed the ruling Communist Party to allow such a few children per married pair.
