The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands
World Wetlands Day 2008 -- Greece
We celebrated
for the 11th consecutive year the WWD in Evros Delta Visitor Centre on
Friday, 1st February.
The activities that took place were:
- Powerpoint presentation on "Healthy wetlands - Healthy People"
- "Turtle" Handicraft
- Competition with questions on the message of the day
- Distribution of posters and stickers
- Guided tour in the wetland
200
schoolchildren participated (from 5 schools of the area). The event was
covered by 3 local and one national TV channel, local newspapers and radio
stations.
We reproduced the poster and the sticker "Healthy Wetlands - Healthy
People", a copy of which is sent to you by post.
Thank you once more for the inspiration on such a wonderful day.
