  • Titles of Conventions, Treaties and Agreements (Documents)
  • Ecosystems
OBS

The Convention on Wetlands is an intergovernmental treaty adopted on 2 February 1971 in the Iranian city of Ramsar, on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. Thus, though nowadays the name of the Convention is usually written "Convention on Wetlands(Ramsar, Iran, 1971) ", it has come to be known popularly as the "Ramsar Convention"... The official name of the treaty-The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat-reflects its original emphasis on the conservation and wise use of wetlands primarily to provide habitat for waterbirds. Over the years, however, the Convention has broadened its scope to cover all aspects of wetland conservation and wise use, recognizing wetlands as ecosystems that are extremely important for biodiversity conservation in general and for the well-being of human communities. For this reason, the increasingly common use of the short form of the treaty's title, the "Convention on Wetlands", is entirely appropriate. The Convention entered into force in 1975... UNESCO serves as Depositary for the Convention, but its administration has been entrusted to a secretariat known as the "Ramsar Bureau", which is housed in the headquarters of IUCN-The World Conservation Union in Gland, Switzerland, under the authority of the Conference of the Parties and the Standing Committee of the Convention

OBS

La Convention sur les zones humides est un traité intergouvernemental adopté le 2 février 1971 dans la ville iranienne de Ramsar, sur les bords de la mer Caspienne. C'est la raison pour laquelle, même si l'on écrit communément «Convention sur les zones humides (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)», la Convention est plus connue du public sous le nom de «Convention de Ramsar». [...]. Le nom officiel du traité - Convention relative aux zones humides d'importance internationale, particulièrement comme habitats des oiseaux d'eau - reflète l'accent qui avait été mis à l'origine sur la conservation et l'utilisation rationnelle des zones humides essentiellement en vue de fournir un habitat aux oiseaux d'eau. Avec le temps, toutefois, la Convention a élargi son horizon afin de couvrir tous les aspects de la conservation et de l'utilisation rationnelle des zones humides, reconnaissant celles-ci comme des écosystèmes extrêmement importants pour la conservation de la diversité biologique et pour le bien-être des communautés humaines. Voilà pourquoi l'usage de plus en plus répandu du nom abrégé du traité, «Convention sur les zones humides», est tout à fait justifié. La Convention est entrée en vigueur en 1975 [...]. L'UNESCO est le Dépositaire de la Convention, mais l'administration de celle-ci est entièrement assumée par un secrétariat appelé «Bureau Ramsar» qui se trouve dans les locaux du Siège de l'UICN-Union mondiale pour la nature à Gland, Suisse, et travaille sous l'autorité de la Conférence des Parties contractantes et du Comité permanent de la Convention.

OBS

La Convención sobre los Humedales es un tratado intergubernamental aprobado el 2 de febrero de 1971 en la ciudad iraní de Ramsar, situada en la costa meridional del Mar Caspio. Por tanto, si bien el nombre de la Convención suele escribirse "Convención sobre los Humedales", ha pasado a conocerse comúnmente como la "Convención de Ramsar".[...] El nombre oficial del tratado - Convención relativa a los Humedales de Importancia Internacional, especialmente como Hábitat de Aves Acuáticas - expresa su énfasis inicial en la conservación y el uso racional de los humedales sobre todo para proporcionar hábitat para aves acuáticas. Sin embargo, con los años, la Convención ha ampliado su alcance a fin de abarcar todos los aspectos de la conservación y el uso racional de los humedales, reconociendo que los humedales son ecosistemas extremadamente importantes para la conservación de la diversidad biológica en general y el bienestar de las comunidades humanas. Por este motivo, el uso cada vez más difundido de la versión abreviada del título del tratado, "Convención sobre los Humedales", es enteramente apropiado. La Convención entró en vigor en 1975 [...] La UNESCO sirve de depositaria de la Convención, pero su administración ha sido confiada a una secretaría conocida como la "Oficina de Ramsar", alojada en la sede de la UICN - Unión Mundial para la Naturaleza, en Gland, Suiza, bajo la autoridad de la Conferencia de las Partes y del Comité Permanente de la Convención.
