About this statute

This article defines “wetlands” and “waterfowl” for the Convention. Each Contracting Party must designate wetlands for the international list, describe their boundaries clearly, and report certain changes to the bureau. Contracting Parties must consider international conservation responsibilities when listing or changing wetlands, and must notify the Permanent Bureau government of changes as soon as possible. Contracting Parties must plan for wetland conservation and, as far as possible, wise use, and must share information quickly when wetland ecological character changes or may change. Contracting Parties must promote wetland and waterfowl conservation, including creating wetland nature reserves and providing wardening.
