Ramsar Site

A Ramsar Site is a wetland area designated under the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty that aims to protect important ecosystems for their ecological, economic, and cultural value. These sites include lakes, rivers, marshes, and coastal areas that provide vital habitats for wildlife, support biodiversity, and offer benefits like water purification, flood control, and climate regulation. By designating a wetland as a Ramsar Site, countries commit to conserving and sustainably managing these areas to ensure they remain healthy and productive for future generations.
