The Aquatic Warbler is an umbrella species, representing the fen habitat along with its animal and plant species. Many of these species, just like the Aquatic Warbler, cannot live in any other habitat. This means that by protecting the Aquatic Warbler, we protect much more than
only one bird species. Protection of the Aquatic Warbler is also advantageous for rare plant species, such as orchids, and other bird species, including rare waders, such as the Great Snipe, the White-tailed Godwit, the Curlew and the Snipe.
