Between March 19 and March 27 1996, approximately 1000 delegates representing about 100 countries will attend the 25th anniversary Conference of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention) in Brisbane.

The Ramsar Convention is a global framework for encouraging international and domestic actions to protect the world's wetlands. The 1996 Conference in Brisbane is the first to be held in the southern hemisphere and takes the style of a United Nations congress. Given the venue, this Conference will be able to pay special attention to the unique wetlands of the Pacific Island Region and focus on the wise use of coastal wetlands, as one of the many themes.

Member countries and interested observers will review progress in implementing the Convention since it last met in Japan in 1993. Delegates from each Member Country will develop new initiatives, set priorities for the following three years and debate a Strategic Plan, to guide the Convention's development until the year 2002. <http://www.deh.gov.au/water/wetlands/publications/wa3.html>
