World Wetlands Day marks the date of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands in the Iranian City of Ramsar on 2 February 1971, when governments across the world agreed to conserve and make the best possible use of their valuable wetland resources.

With 1314 designated Ramsar Sites, covering 111 million hectares world-wide, the Ramsar Convention now has 138 countries signed up so WWT’s celebrations will certainly be in good company.

The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust is the largest international wetland conservation charity in the UK. WWT’s mission is to conserve wetlands and their biodiversity. It undertakes a range of research, education and consultancy work into wetland bird population monitoring, threatened species, land management and wetland restoration.

WWT members enjoy free access to all nine visitor centres and are kept up to date with developments through a quarterly magazine
