In anul 1971, la Ramsar, în Iran, s-a semnat Convenţia asupra zonelor umede de importanţă internaţională, în special ca habitat al păsărilor acvatice. S-a stabilit data de 2 februarie ca Zi Mondială a Zonelor Umede, documentul fiind ratificat de România prin Legea 5/1991. Zonele umede au fost definite ca fiind intinderile de balti, mlastini, ape naturale sau artificiale, permanente sau temporare, unde apa este statatoare sau curgatoare, dulce sau sarata, inclusiv intinderi de apa marina a caror adancime la reflux nu depaseste sase metri. Obiectivul declarat al Conventiei a fost acela de a conserva zonele umede, fauna si flora care servesc ca habitat al pasarilor acvatice, iar pe de alta parte constituie cele mai importante resurse de valoare economica, naturala, stiintifica si recreativa, a caror pierdere ar fi ireparabila. Alegerea acestor zone, conform Conventiei, se bazeaza pe rolul international din punct de vedere ecologic, botanic, zoologic, hidrologic, tinand seama de importanta lor internationala pentru pasarile acvatice in toate anotimpurile. Pana in prezent au fost inscrise pe lista Uniunii Internationale pentru Conservarea Naturii si a Resurselor Naturale peste 300 zone umede. ** In Romania exista 89 de zone umede si 52 de ecoregiuni cu o varietate mare de ecosisteme. ** // In Romania there are 89 wetlands and 52 Ecoregions with a variety of ecosystems. // // Areas included in the Ramsar Convention are Rezervaaia Danube Delta Biosphere (Danube Delta) and Little Pond of Braila (Braila Small Pond). //
 * Zonele incluse in Conventia de la Ramsar sunt Rezervaaia Biosferei __Delta Dunarii (Danube Delta) si Balta Mica a Brailei (Small Pond Braila) .__ **
