I raise our children in the fields of eastern Japan in summer. I will answer your question about wetlands. What is Wetland? Why Should we conserve wetlands? How Should We Protect Waterbirds in Wetlands? What is The Ramsar Convention? What Should Countries Do When They Join The Ramsar Convention? How to designate as a Ramsar site? What is the Privilege of Ramsar Sites? What is The Conference of The Ramsar Convention?
