STONEWALL, Manitoba — German filmmakers Anni and Alex Kornelsen set out on a road trip from Canada all the way to Patagonia to showcase how the Americas were conserving and restoring wetlands. The result is the award-winning documentary Mission to Marsh, which is being brought to North America on World Wetlands Day, February 2, 2026. Ducks Unlimited Canada invites Canadians to get a candid view of some of the world’s most treasured wetlands, including sites where DUC has supported conservation and restoration like the Oromocto River in New Brunswick; la Grande plée Bleue in Quebec; and Oak Hammock Marsh in Manitoba. …The film focuses on peatlands, an ecological powerhouse. It is estimated that one square metre of peatland in Canada’s boreal region stores about five times more carbon than one square metre of tropical Amazon rainforest. When intact and healthy, peatlands play a vital role in mitigating floods, drought and wildfire.
