World Wetlands Day is observed every year on February 2. It is celebrated to raise global awareness about the vital role of wetlands for people and our planet. It’s an appeal to invest financial, human and political capital to save the world’s wetlands from disappearing and to restore those we have degraded.
This day also marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on February 2, 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
Wetlands are disappearing three times as fast as forests. They are home to a wide diversity of species, a solution for reducing impacts from flood disasters, fresh water store, and currently a massive aid against the carbon causing climate change.

For years we have been aware that our forests are dying off through human intervention, but wetlands are actually disappearing three times as fast as forests. We urgently need to address behaviours that are contributing to their decline, especially because currently wetlands are a massive aid against the carbon causing climate change. Our wetlands are disappearing. Run to raise awareness and spread the word about these precious water bodies! You can sign up for this online event from anywhere in the world, completely for free.
