The Federal Ministry of Environment's Pakistan Wetlands Programme has been a trendsetter in developing a firm base for mainstreaming the values of wetlands across the country.
The Programme, being implemented by World Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature, Pakistan, is once again announcing the celebration of one of its mega events being held each year on February 2, to mark the date of adoption of the International Convention on Wetlands in Ramsar, Iran in 1971.
The Federal Minister for Environment, Hameed Ullah Jan Afridi, will grace the occasion at the Islamabad College for Girls as a chief guest. This year, the World Wetlands Day celebrations will focus on the theme "Wetlands and Forests" with a slogan 'Forests for Water and Wetlands', which has been designed to create a sense of awareness among ourselves about the role forests play in our environments.-PR
