Ramsar Wetlands of Australia 2024

National dataset of Australia's Ramsar Wetlands.\r\n\r\nThe Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar Convention) was signed in Ramsar, Iran on 2 February 1971. The Ramsar Convention aims to halt the worldwide loss of wetlands and to conserve, through wise use and management, those that remain. The Convention encourages member countries to nominate sites containing representative, rare or unique wetlands, or that are important for conserving biological diversity, to the List of Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites). Australia was one of the first countries to become a Contracting Party to the Convention and designated the world's first Ramsar site, Cobourg Peninsula, in 1974.\r\n\r\nThis project was initiated by the Wetlands Section of the Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. Spatial data was sourced from the relevant State and Territory agencies and compiled into a single national coverage.\r\n\r\nIn WGS84 CRS.

澳大利亚拉姆萨尔湿地国家数据集。

《国际重要湿地公约》（拉姆萨尔公约，Ramsar Convention）于1971年2月2日在伊朗拉姆萨尔签署。该公约旨在遏制全球湿地丧失，并通过合理利用与管理保护现存湿地。公约鼓励成员国提名具有代表性、稀有性或独特性的湿地，或对保护生物多样性具有重要意义的湿地，列入《国际重要湿地名录》（拉姆萨尔湿地，Ramsar sites）。澳大利亚是首批加入该公约的缔约方之一，并于1974年指定了全球首个拉姆萨尔湿地——科堡半岛（Cobourg Peninsula）。

本项目由澳大利亚政府气候变化、能源、环境与水利部湿地处发起。空间数据来源于相关州及领地机构，并被整合为全国统一的数据集。
