World Wetlands Day Exhibition

World Wetlands Day is celebrated around the world every year on February 2nd to mark the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971 in the Iranian city of Ramsar.

The exhibition will be launched at 3.00 pm on Thursday February 2nd by Ms Kasia Nikraszewicz of the Ramsar Convention Secretariat. This will be followed by light refreshments. All are welcome to attend.
