World Wetlands Day 2009
What is World Wetlands Day?2 February each year is World Wetlands Day. It marks the date of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. WWD was celebrated for the first time in 1997 and made an encouraging beginning. Each year, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens at all levels of the community have taken advantage of the opportunity to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular.From 1997 to 2009, the Convention’s Web site has posted reports from more than 95 countries of WWD activities of all sizes and shapes, from lectures and seminars, nature walks, children’s art contests, sampan races, and community clean-up days, to radio and television interviews and letters to newspapers, to the launch of new wetland policies, new Ramsar sites, and new programmes at the national level.
Este blog surge como herramienta de trabajo para la C. Sociales en el IES los Sauces.
Pretendemos convertirlo en un archivo vivo de todo el trabajo que vamos a desarrollar en el aula, en la nueva experiencia en la que nos aventuramos.
Pretendo con la misma iniciar un camino, tanto en lo personal como en la nueva etapa que comienzan aquí cada uno de mis alumnos.
