World Wetlands Day (WWD) occurs on the 2nd of February each year. It marks the date of the signing of the International Convention1 on Wetlands in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran. WWD started in 1997. It aims to raise awareness2 of the value of wetlands around the world and the unique and important place they have. The 158 nations and territories who signed the convention promised to conserve3 and protect over 1,782 wetlands, coveringan area of over 160 million hectares. The United Kingdom tops the list with 177 protected wetland sites. Each year governments and citizens’ groups carry out all kinds of activities on WWD. These range from nature walks, clean-up days and seminars to new government laws to protect the wetlands.
