International Wetlands Conservation

International Wetlands Conservation involves protecting and managing wetlands—such as marshes, swamps, and ponds—which are vital ecosystems supporting diverse plants and animals. These areas also provide important benefits like water purification, flood control, climate regulation, and resources for local communities. Global efforts, like the Ramsar Convention, encourage countries to identify, protect, and sustainably use wetlands to ensure their health and resilience. Conservation helps preserve biodiversity, maintain ecological balance, and support human well-being by safeguarding these critical and productive habitats for future generations.
