<h4>A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future.</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>There&rsquo;s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years it was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in the past few decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.</p>
<p>Learn more about the wetlands on a trip with <a href="http://wildjordan.com/">Wild Jordan</a> or <a href="http://experiencejordan.com/">Experience Jordan</a>, and <em>turn off the water in your shower or sink when you don&rsquo;t need it!</em></p>
