The convention was developed and adopted by participating nations at a meeting in Ramsar, Mazandaran, Iran, on February 2, 1971, hosted by the Iranian Department of Environment, and came into force on December 21, 1975.
The Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance now includes 2186 Sites (known as Ramsar Sites) covering over 200,000,000 ha (490,000,000 acres). The country with the highest number of Sites is the United Kingdom at 170 and the country with the greatest area of listed wetlands is Bolivia, with over 140,000 km2 (54,000 sq mi).The Ramsar definition of wetlands is fairly wide, including "areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters" as well as fish ponds, rice paddies and salt pans.
Presently there are 168 contracting parties, up from 21 initial signatory nations in 1971. The state parties meet every three years as the Conference of the Contracting Parties (COP), the first held in Cagliari, Italy in 1980. Amendments to the original convention have been agreed to in Paris (in 1982) and Regina (in 1987).
There is a standing committee, a scientific review panel, and a secretariat. The headquarters is located in Gland, Switzerland, shared with the IUCN.
Romania has seven Ramsar sites.

Hi it was very informative post. Thank you for sharing this information. In this era of emailing and texting, a handwritten letter has become outdated but it is one of the most classic ways of expression. The common question that arises at the time of mailing a letter is how many stamps do I need to send a letter?

In this manner my partner Wesley Virgin's tale begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.
THESE are the same methods lots of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and famous.
You've heard that you use only 10% of your brain.
That's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years back, while riding a non-registered, garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended driver's license and on his bank card.
"I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those types of thoughts, right?
Your very own success story is waiting to be written. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
