Annually, we celebrate February 2nd is a world wetlands day. This
day remembers the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands in the Iranian city,
Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian sea on the date of 2nd February in1971. The
main reason for this establishment is to raise the awareness about the esteem,
value of wetlands for humanity and the planet. Since 1997, world wetlands day
has celebrated to increase the awareness regarding the value of wetlands.
Every year,
government agencies as well as non-governmental organizations, and other groups
of citizens of all levels of the community, have worked together to improve the
public awareness about wetland values and its benefits. Some of the benefits
about wetlands are the enriched source of biologically diverse ecosystems which
support the habitation for many kinds of species against the disasters like
storms and flooding, another thing is wetlands provide the great facility of
naturally filter water by breaking down or transforming harmful pollutants. The
theme of world wetlands day 2019 is wetlands
and Climate change
