Originally created to preserve wetlands as a vital habitat for waterfowl, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands has inspired significant advances over the past 40 years. Conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national action and international cooperation has helped sustain the diverse socio-economic benefits that wetlands deliver to people throughout the world.
