World Wetlands Day is celebrated each year to raise awareness about the importance of wetlands, ecosystems like marshes, rivers, estuaries, bogs and peatlands that support biodiversity, improve water quality, help reduce flooding, store carbon and provide rich habitats for wildlife. It commemorates the signing of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971
