The National Council today ratified the Ramsar Convention, an intergovernmental treaty on wetlands.

The convention is the only global environmental treaty providing a framework for national action and international cooperation in conserving and using wetlands sustainably.

The treaty was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar and currently has 160 parties, working through a close network.

The Agriculture and Forests Minister said the decision is only going to benefit the country in its effort to conserve wetlands.

Unlike other global conventions, the Ramsar Convention does not have any direct affiliation with the United Nations Systems.

The convention uses a broad definition of the types of wetlands like lakes and rivers, marshes, wet grasslands and human-made sites.

In Bhutan, the convention identifies three sites – Phobjikha, Khothokha and Bumdeling- the roosting grounds for the Black Necked Cranes.
