        &lt;h4&gt;A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future.&lt;/h4&gt;
        
    &lt;/figcaption&gt;
    
&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;There&amp;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Learn more about the wetlands on a trip with &lt;a href=&#34;http://wildjordan.com/&#34;&gt;Wild Jordan&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&#34;http://experiencejordan.com/&#34;&gt;Experience Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;turn off the water in your shower or sink when you don&amp;rsquo;t need it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
