| Summary: |
In many countries, the inscription of wetlands under the Ramsar
Convention is an important contribution to nature conservation. At
the same time, a high responsibility for the state party is implied
by the increased international reputation gained by the designation
as Ramsar site. Contracting parties of the Ramsar Convention become
responsible for the effective management of these sites. The development
and application of management plans are an important means to ensure
the protection of sites for present and future generations and is
a contribution to the implementation of the CBD Programme of Work
on Protected Areas.
This course aims at:
- assisting Ramsar sites with the preparation of management plans
by creating skills and understanding of the preparation of management
plans
- training Ramsar sites' staff with the implementation of management
plans in practice (e.g. how to deal with participation)
