World Wetlands Day

World Wetlands Day is recognised as a United Nations International Day of Importance, celebrated around the world each year on 2 February. It marks the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention) in Ramsar, Iran, on 2 February 1971.

Since 1997, World Wetlands Day has been used to:

• raise public awareness of wetland values and benefits
• promote the conservation and wise use of wetlands.

Join in on the day. Attend a seminar or festival, help with a revegetation project, go on a bird walk, and discover the many ways that you can take action in your own home and in your community.
