First celebrated in 1997, World Wetland Day marks the date of signature of the Convention on Wetlands, generally known as the “Ramsar Convention”. This agreement seeks international collaboration in the protection of wetlands and their sustainable use. In the Azores, there are 13 wetlands of International Importance classified under this convention, which are currently designated as Ramsar Sites. Despite the LIFE IP AZORES NATURA is focused on its core objetive (implementation of the PAF), it simultaneously evidences other benefits, creates synergies and achieves results in other designated areas, such as RAMSAR sites. The LIFE IP Azores Natura project will restoretypical wetland habitats, ias peatlands, through action C4.1 “Best practice for terrestrial habitats conservation”. Are you going to visit any Ramsar Site today? How many are there on your island?
