Note: Many of these photos were lent to the Ramsar Bureau free of charge by the PhotoLibrary of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF International) for use in various Ramsar publications. It would not be a good idea to reproduce them for other uses without checking with the WWF/Canon PhotoLibrary first.
