The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is a global treaty for conserving wetlands , adopted in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971, focusing on "wise use," international cooperation, and designating Wetlands of International Importance ( Ramsar Sites ) for biodiversity. It provides the framework for maintaining wetlands' ecological character, ensuring sustainable use, and links conservation to climate, water, and sustainable development goals , involving nearly all UN members in managing vital ecosystems like marshes, deltas, and reefs.
