World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year on 2 February to raise global awareness about the value of wetlands for humanity and the planet. It also marks the adoption of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971 in the Iranian city of Ramsar.
World Wetlands Day has a different theme each year. It's an appeal to invest financial, human and political capital to save the world’s wetlands from disappearing and to restore those we have degraded. See the World Wetlands Day website.

- have a family picnic beside a lake or river
- explore the waterway by kayak
- organise a community walk, bike or run for wetlands
