More documents in Arabic now available

Greetings All:

Over the past couple of years, the Secretariat has been finding funds to translate some of the key Convention’s documents into Arabic, to help with implementation of the Convention in the Arab region. A number of documents were translated in 2010 (see article here), and now with funding from the Ramsar Regional Centre – Central and West Asia and support from the League of Arab States, a second set of documents have been translated. These are:

• Ramsar's Liquid Assets 40th Anniversary Booklet [PDF]
• Ramsar Small Grants for Wetland Conservation and Wise Use (SGF) Operational Guidelines for the Triennium 2009-2012 [PDF]
• Leaflets on ‘Wetland Ecosystem Services’[zipped file]
• Handbook 15: Addressing Change in Ecological Character [PDF]

 These documents are now available on the Ramsar Convention web site for viewing and download.

Best regards,

The Ramsar Secretariat
