Building a barrier is effective at reducing pollution but does not actively restore habitats or increase biodiversity. Planting native vegetation helps restore habitats, providing food and shelter for local wildlife, which directly enhances biodiversity in the wetland. Other options either do not address habitat needs or could harm the ecosystem.
