Ramsar Wetland
A Ramsar Wetland refers to a designated area recognized under the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty established in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran. These wetlands are vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, providing habitat for numerous species of plants and animals. They also play a crucial role in water purification, flood control, and carbon storage.
The Ramsar Convention aims to promote the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands worldwide. Countries that sign the convention commit to protecting these areas, ensuring their ecological health and the services they provide to both nature and human communities.
