The Convention on Wetlands is the intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
 
The Convention was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971 and came into force in 1975. Since then, almost 90% of UN member states, from all the world’s geographic regions, have acceded to become “Contracting Parties”.
 
Kenya adopted the Convention in 1990. NEMA has been spearheading the commemorations in different sites since 2004.
 
This year, the World Wetlands Day will be held at Ondiri Wetlands, Kiambu County on 2nd February, 2025 themed; Protecting Wetlands for our Common Future.
