Gyeongnam Ramsar Environmental Foundation
History
Gyeongnam Ramsar Environmental Foundation was established in 2008 under an Ordinance of Gyeongnam Provincial
Government in order to protect the wetlands and to increase public awareness on the importance of environment.
the "Ramsar" in the name of the Foundation came from the Ramsar Convention on wetlands. the Convention was
adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971 to protect waterfowls that migrate beyond the borders and wetlands all around the world.
Since the Ramsar COP10 held in Changwon, Gyeongnam, Republic of Korea in 2008, the Foundation has been leading wetland conservation in Gyeongnam Province under the spirit of the Ramsar Convention.
