World Wetlands Day celebrated annually on 2 February.
Wetlands Day aims to raise global awareness about the vital role of wetlands for people and planet.
The theme for World Wetlands Day 2021 is 'Wetlands and Water'. It emphasizes the importance of wetlands as a "source of freshwater and encourages action to restore them and stop their loss". This year's theme for World Wetlands Day is most significant as the UN Decades of Ocean Science and Ecosystem Restoration begins in 2021.
