Ramsar's World Wetlands Day materials - local, national and international adaptation
How did we do in 2005?
Adaptation of Ramsar's WWD materials For World Wetlands Day 2003 the Ramsar Secretariat launched a new initiative - making our WWD materials available on CD-ROM as Quark Passport files– to encourage users with the appropriate software, or access to it, to print large numbers of copies for distribution, to translate the text into local languages, or customise the publication in other ways, making it more relevant to local situations. Having met with some success in the last two years (read more here on WWD 2003 and here on WWD2004). This year we have managed to deal effectively with some of the technical problems we met with in the previous two years and we are happy to report that we have more countries taking advantage of the poster layout to produce posters in local languages.
