Every Year thousands of people gather on February 2nd to celebrate International Wetlands Day and to celebrate the uniqueness and importance of these natural resources.

 

For 2010,  the Ramsar Convention chose the "Wetlands, Biodiversity and Climate Change" based on the close relationship  between wetlands, global warming and rising sea levels. 

 

Activities worldwide celebrating wetlands include presentations, hiking, bird wathcing and lectures.  For more information on events in your area, visit www.ramsar.org .
