World Wetlands Day 2003: Turkey

Turkey's WWD 2003 publications: a laudable list!

Here are a few photos displaying some of these publications, including the Ramsar poster in Turkish, the Turkish National Wetland Strategy, a calendar depicting wetland scenes, and a series of posters; not included are a poster on Turkish Ramsar Sites, another on the legislation which was put into force in January 2002, and yet another on their National Wetland Strategy.
