The Wetland-based Solutions Community of Practice is an inclusive network open to individuals, institutions, businesses, and associations committed to the restoration and sustainable management of wetlands. It serves as a collaborative space where members can connect, share experiences, and work together to advance wetland conservation efforts. Within this community, participants will have the opportunity to:
Data on wetlands of international importance, including peatlands, across Europe. Includes ecological character, threats, and management information.
Map of the Natura 2000 network (the sites' borders and the sites' Standard Data Forms) for the year 2022, as provided by the EU Member States. For Denmark, the viewer shows the data from the year 2017, for Germany the data is from the year 2019.
The Habitats Directive requires all Member States to establish a strict protection regime for species listed in Annex IV, both inside and outside Natura 2000 sites.
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”.
Con motivo del Día Internacional de los Humedales y 50 aniversario del Convenio Ramsar, se ha publicado el informe "Situación actual y perspectivas de conservación y restauración de los humedales españoles hasta 2030".
El Convenio de Ramsar viene alentando desde hace años a los Estados miembros para que establezcan Comités Nacionales de Humedales, que proporcionen un marco nacional y los mecanismos necesarios para aplicar y difundir la filosofía de protección y uso racional de los humedales, así como la elaboración de políticas nacionales de humedales. España fue uno de los primeros países en cumplir esta directriz Ramsar, datando la creación de nuestro Comité de Humedales de 1994.
