We will be celebrating World Wetlands Day (WWD) 2019 with wetland restoration and education activities around the country. This year in Hobart we are working the Derwent Estuary Program at Green Point, near Bridgewater. WWD falls on February 2 and marks the day the international Convention on the Wise Use of Wetlands (known as the Ramsar Convention) was signed in in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971. WWD is a day when wetlands are celebrated around the world for the vital benefits they provide:
- Drinking water
- Water for agriculture and aquaculture that produce the food we eat
- A tapestry of biodiversity upon which we all depend
- A multitude of recreation, tourism and cultural opportunities
- Protection against the impacts of climate change, which are increasing in intensity and frequency
