2nd February – The World Wetlands Day2nd February – The World Wetlands Day
Bulgaria is among the countries which first joined The Convention on Wetlands - Ramsar Convention
(adopted by participating parties at a meeting in Ramsar, Iran on February 2,
1971).
This is the first international treaty for
the conservation of biological diversity.
The goal of the Convention is conservation and
wise use of wetlands as waterfowl habitats,
recognizing them as an international
resource.
At present the Convention is adopted by 158 countries having in total over 1770 sites of international importance with aggregated area of 161mln. h. in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance.
The Ministry of Environment and Water is the National Authority in charge for the
implementation of the Ramsar Convention and for the elaboration of policies on
protection and sustainable use of wetlands.
Wetlands are ecosystems where water is the primary factor on which the environmental conditions and the
relative species of animals and plants depend.
Wetlands are among the world’s most efficient ecosystems on the Earth. They provide fundamental ecological profits
and services being regulators ofwater regimes and biodiversity sources
at all levels.
