World Wetlands Day 2025: Restoration and Protection of Ecosystems

Publication date: 04 February 2025


On February 2, 2025, the world celebrates World Wetlands Day, highlighting the crucial role of these ecosystems in preserving biodiversity, maintaining water balance, and mitigating climate change.

The theme for 2025 – “Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future” – emphasizes the need for protecting and restoring these vulnerable natural areas.

Wetlands play a key role in ensuring water security, reducing flood risks, and providing habitats for diverse flora and fauna. However, more than 35% of wetlands have disappeared in the last 50 years, making their restoration a priority for sustainable development.

World Wetlands Day serves as an annual reminder of the need for joint action by governments, scientists, and citizens to protect these vital ecosystems.
