Section 7 References: Ramsar Convention website and database (www.ramsar.org) Wetlands International website (www.wetlands.org) IPAs and the Ramsar Convention on wetlands Context The Ramsar Convention (adopted in 1971) is an intergovernmental treaty, which provides the framework for national action and international cooperation on the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. The term ‘wetland’ includes marsh, fen, peatland, water, and marine water less than six metres at low tide.To date 141 countries are signatories of the convention, including all of the seven partner countries in this project.The current guidelines contain four criteria that include plants and plant communities. Criterion 1: rare, representative or unique example of natural or near-natural wetland type within appropriate biogeographic region Criterion 2: vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered species or threatened ecological community Criterion 3: populations of plant and/or animal species important for maintaining biological diversity of a particular biogeographic region Criterion 4: supports plants and/or animal species at a critical stage in their life cycles, or provides refuge during adverse conditions Full description of criteria at www.ramsar.org IPAs and Ramsar In the seven partner countries in this project there are currently 42 RAMSAR sites, 78 IPAs are found within the boundaries of these RAMSAR sites. 224 IPAs (28%) contain threatened mire, bog and fen habitats 197 IPAs (25%) contain threatened inland water habitats 74 IPAs (9%) contain threatened coastal and halophytic habitats A frog emerges from the leaves of Spirodella polyrhiza and Salvinia natans. 96
Existing legislation & programmes IPAs and Key Biodiversity Areas: Birds, Butterflies, Dragonflies, and Herpetological Species Context The Important Bird Areas (IBA) project of BirdLife International has been a great success in Europe and other parts of the world. It has not only provided a list of priority sites for bird conservation, but has also united a network of specialists, prompted legal and policy change at the highest level, and involved a range of stakeholders in groundlevel conservation.The Important Biodiversity Areas Forum held in Wageningen, the Netherlands, brings together representatives from the different groups and ensures that there is exchange of information on methodology, experience and progress. Progress so far Bird Areas: 3619 sites in Europe Plant Areas: 788 sites in Europe in seven countries and preliminary projects or interest in many countries in Europe Butterfly Areas: 433 PBAs in thirty-seven countries in Europe Dragonfly Areas: project in progress Herpetological Areas: project in progress References Eken, G. et al, 2004, Key Biodiversity Areas as Site Conservation Targets.

Dutch Butterfly Conservation (www.vlinderstichting.nl) Butterfly Conservation (www.butterflyconservation.org) Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) IPAs, IBAs, PBAs, IDAs and IHAs all contribute to the emerging concept of key biodiversity areas being developed by Birdlife International and Conservation International, which aims to be applicable to all major groups of taxa and to identify sites important for all biodiversity.
