World Wetlands Day is observed annually on February 2 to underline the importance of wetlands for human prosperity and ecological balance.
The theme of World Wetlands Day 2024 is "Wetlands and Human Wellbeing", emphasizing the critical link between wetlands and various aspects of human health.
Wetlands are home to a diverse array of species, with more than 100,000 documented, and play an important role in providing freshwater and supporting global food production. For example, wetland-grown rice is a staple food for three billion people worldwide.
