List of wetlands protected under the Ramsar Convention
Ramsar sites are protected under by the Ramsar Convention , an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands , recognizing the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic , cultural , scientific , and recreational value. The convention establishes that "wetlands should be selected for the list on account of their international significance in terms of ecology , botany , zoology , limnology or hydrology ." Over the years, the Conference of the Contracting Parties has adopted more specific criteria interpreting the convention text.[ 1]
The Ramsar List organizes the Ramsar sites according to the contracting party that designated each to the list. Contracting parties are grouped into six "regions": Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin American and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania.[ 2] As of October 2024 , 171 states have acceded to the convention and designated 2,521 sites to the list, covering 257,317,367 hectares (635,845,060 acres); one other state has acceded to the convention but has yet to designate any sites. The complete list of the wetlands is accessible on the Ramsar Sites Information Service website.[ 3]
