  • World Wetland Day is celebrated annually on February 2 with the aim to create awareness of the vital role wetlands play for people and the planet. 
  • The proposal for the convention on wetlands was first made on February 2, 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar.
  • Wetlands are the parts of the earth where the soil is covered with water. They support both terrestrial and aquatic species.
  • There are five major types of wetlands. They are marine, estuarine, lacustrine, riverine, and palustrine.
  • The awareness of World Wetland Day started off in 1997. However, it was on August 30, 2021, that the United Nations General Assembly approved resolution 75/317 for World Wetlands Day to be celebrated on February 2.
  • The theme for this year's World Wetlands Day is 'It’s Time for Wetlands Restoration,' which focuses on the urgent need to prioritize wetland restoration.
