Zones humides - Convention de RamsarWetlands – Ramsar Convention
This API provides geographic data on wetlands in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland, that fall under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as waterfowl habitat. The convention was signed in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, and ratified by Switzerland in 1976. The dataset delineates the perimeter of the Ramsar site within the canton. It is maintained by the Système d'information du territoire genevois (Geneva territorial information system) and can be accessed free of charge without authentication, supporting environmental monitoring and land-use planning related to protected wetland areas.ZONES HUMIDES LIEES A LA CONVENTION DE RAMSAR La Convention de Ramsar relative aux zones humides d'importance internationale particulièrement comme habitats des oiseaux d'eau a été signée en 1971 dans la ville iranienne de Ramsar.
