It’s World Wetlands Day

02/02/2012

Greetings Everyone:

Happy World Wetlands Day!

Please visit our home page and our news page – we have much to share today. I’m attaching a joint press release from our Secretary General and the Secretary General of the UN World Tourism Organization, our partner for this year’s celebration.

We look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks about your World Wetlands Day activities (please send your report to wwd@ramsar.org).

With best wishes, Sandra Hails, Ramsar Secretariat
