World Wetlands Day

World Wetlands Day is observed on February 2 each year to raise awareness about the vital role that wetlands play in our ecosystem. These areas, like marshes, swamps, and bogs, support diverse wildlife, help filter water, and protect against floods. The day commemorates the signing of the Ramsar Convention in 1971, promoting the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands worldwide. Activities on this day aim to educate the public about wetlands' importance and encourage actions to protect these critical environments for future generations.
