Sasmuan Pampanga Coastal Wetlands: PHL’s 8th wetland of international importance
Excerpt
The Philippines marked its celebration of the World Wetlands Day on February 2 with the designation of Sasmuan Pampanga Coastal Wetlands (SPCW) as the country’s 8th Wetland of International Importance, or Ramsar Site. The designation of Sasmuan as a Ramsar Site, the first in Central Luzon, was an affirmation of the Philippines’s commitment to the Convention on Wetlands, an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
