RAMSAR - Sites boundaries

The map shows the boundaries of RAMSAR sites. Under the Convention on Wetlands [http://www.ramsar.org/about-the-ramsar-convention] (Ramsar, 1971), each Contracting Party undertakes to designate at least one wetland site for inclusion in the List of Wetlands of International Importance [http://www.ramsar.org/document/the-list-of-wetlands-of-international-importance-the-ramsar-list]. There are over 2,000 "Ramsar Sites" on the territories of over 160 Contracting Parties across the world.

For more information on the Convention, please visit the Convention website [http://www.ramsar.org/].

The Convention Secretariat provides open access to the RSIS and its data, to promote the conservation and wise use of wetlands. If you are interested in an overview of the Ramsar Sites network, or are looking for information on a specific Site, please visit the Explore Sites page [https://rsis.ramsar.org/].
