Mission to Marsh

A Film by Alexander Kornelsen

At a time when climate change is undeniable and human activity is straining the limits of our ecosystem, wetlands offer our generation’s opportunity. But what do we really know about these mysterious ecosystems? And what impact do they have on the well-being of our planet?

From the majestic marshlands to the lush mangrove forests, we explore the fascinating diversity of these ecosystems and reveal their crucial role in flood control, biodiversity conservation, water filtration and even climate change.

But while we experience the wonders of the wetlands, we also uncover the threatening realities. We reveal the devastating effects of land use change, pollution and human greed on these fragile ecosystems. Our journey takes us to policy makers who have the power to bring about change and scientists who are working tirelessly to protect and restore wetlands.

With breathtaking footage, inspiring stories and shocking revelations, “Mission to Marsh” aims to mobilize people worldwide.

The time has come to unveil the secrets of wetlands and recognize their vital importance.
