Swan

About

How swan lives

Swans are large waterbirds that graze aquatic plants and defend nesting territories in wetlands. Swans have long necks that help them reach submerged vegetation. Wetlands combine land and water resources, making them rich feeding zones for adaptable species.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting swan also depends on keeping wetland, rivers habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
