World Wetlands Day

Why Celebrate World Wetlands Day
Of the 55 wetlands that are recognized by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, 13 overlap with UNESCO World Heritage sites and biosphere reserves. These are significant for biodiversity and to the planet's climate.
The international eco-friendly holiday raises awareness of the important water resources that wetlands provide. They are elaborate ecosystems that provide many benefits like flood control, water quality preservation, and are nurseries for fish and other freshwater or marine animals. If you're passionate about saving the planet, don't forget to celebrate World Wetlands Day.
