The Ramsar Convention is the first modern international environmental agreement focused on the conservation of natural resources, particularly wetlands as habitats for migratory waterbirds. It was adopted in Ramsar, Iran, on February 2, 1971. Member states of the convention designate wetlands of international importance, focusing on their ecological, botanical, zoological, limnological, or hydrological significance.
