Abstract: Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance. Wetlands include rivers, streams and springs with associated riverine and riparian zones; lake, pond, swamp, marsh, fen and peatland with water that is static or flowing with distinct floral and faunal communities. Wetlands provide fundamental ecosystem services, such as water regulation, filtration and purification, as well as numerous scientific, cultural and recreational values. Wetlands are important for maintenance of the broader ecosystem's health.
