In Kenya, wetlands occupy approximately three to four percent of the Kenya’s landmass. Each year, Kenya commemorates World Wetlands Day to mark the adoption of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in Iran like the rest of the World. The convention came in force in Kenya in 1990.

Hitherto, the country has been celebrating the event annually on 2nd February. The convention aims at promotion of conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands. In Kenya, wetlands occupy approximately three to four percent of the Kenya’s landmass.

This day we all commemorate to mark the importance of wetlands in our ecosystem.
