The Convention on Wetlands Secretariat is pleased to announce that information materials to support outreach activities for World Wetlands Day on 2 February 2025 are now available online. Check our linktree in our bio or use the following link linktr.ee/wetlands.org to access the campaign toolkit, which has been developed to facilitate a coordinated global communication campaign in 2025. It includes key messages and ideas for getting involved. Next year’s campaign centers on "Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future." It emphasizes the urgency of bold action to protect these natural habitats for the welfare of all people – so future generations can continue to benefit from all that wetlands provide. Additionally, World Wetlands Day 2025 is of particular significance, as it shares the same theme with the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Wetlands (COP15), scheduled for 23-31 July 2025 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. #actforwetlands #powerofwetlands
