Today World Wetlands Day (WWD) is celebrated internationally in celebrating the establishing of the Ramsar Convention on wetlands (www.ramsar.org)

The theme for this year is: Wetlands and water management - Wetlands care for Water. You can read more on this theme and download material. The IMCG is launching its 1st calendar today in celebrating WWD. You can download the high resolution version on our website below, as well as the photos used (which is from our earlier post card initiatives).

We are very keen to hear how you promote mire conservation in your area/region/country/continent through celebrating WWD - so please send us a photo of related activities. We will use this in compiling a new post card series on mires and people, especially within the theme: Wetlands care for Water - and mires even more!

Please email your photos with a short heading to the IMCG secretariat and your contributions for the Newsletter to info(at)imcg(dot)net .
