40th anniversary - Key message no. 2

02/03/2011

Greetings CEPA people:

It is already one month since we started the celebration of Ramsar’s 40th anniversary so it is now time for the 2nd of our 12 key messages.

Our key message for this month, 'Wetlands support us all', explains how wetlands provide a great diversity of essential ecosystem services that benefit all humankind, rich and poor, developed or developing country, urban or rural.

Follow the link to see the full message. We hope you will make good use of the message and the material at your disposal, setting it in your own national or local context to increase the visibility of the Convention and of your work. Please don’t forget to use our 40th anniversary logo whenever you refer to our key messages.
