Ramsar Convention | Vibepedia

The Ramsar Convention is an international treaty aimed at conserving and sustainably using wetlands, which are crucial ecosystems that provide numerous benefits to both humans and the environment. The convention's secretariat is based in Gland, Switzerland, and works closely with organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Wildlife Fund to achieve its goals. The convention's work is guided by a set of principles, including the wise use of wetlands and the conservation of wetland biodiversity. The convention has established programs such as the Ramsar Small Grants Fund and the Ramsar Wetland Conservation Awards, and has developed tools and guidelines to help countries implement its objectives, including the Ramsar Guidelines for the Implementation of the Convention.
