One company used to want to build a shopping mall on a wetland. A company once planned to construct a shopping mall on a wetland.（将“used to want to build”改为“once planned to construct”，使句子更简洁。）

Well, wetlands function as the buffer zone to prevent floating so that they can observe and hold water in order to reduce the chance of floating to the city. Wetlands serve as a buffer zone to prevent flooding by absorbing and retaining water, thus reducing flood risks in nearby areas.（将“prevent floating”改为“prevent flooding”，将“observe”改为“absorb”，并简化句子结构，使表达更清晰。）

It has a very important impact on environmental protections and city protections. It plays a crucial role in environmental and urban protection.（将“has a very important impact”改为“plays a crucial role”，使表达更自然。）

However, if the company wants to build the shopping mall, they have to bring the actual soil to the wetland and destroy the wetland. However, if the company proceeds with building the shopping mall, they would need to fill in the wetland, ultimately destroying it.（将“bring the actual soil”改为“fill in”，使表达更准确。）

As a result, the company cancelled the original plan and moved the place to another site. Consequently, the company abandoned their initial plan and relocated the project to an alternative site.（将“cancelled”改为“abandoned”，将“moved the place”改为“relocated the project”，使表达更自然。）
