Setting up the background
to protect global wetlands and wetland resources, on February 2, 1971, representatives from 18 countries from 18 countries, jointly signed "about, especially as water poultry" in the Iran Ramsar. The International Important Wetland Convention on the habitat (referred to as the "Wetland Convention", also known as the "Ramsar Convention). The internationally important wetlands determined by the Wetland Convention is a unique internationally significant wetland in ecology, botany, zoology, lake biogology or hydroxation. The Wetland Convention has become an internationally important Nature Convention, subject to the attention of governments. To commemorate the birthday, the 19th Standing Committee of the 19th Convention on the October 1996 will be set to "World Wetland Day" on February 2, 1996. As of January 2014, 168 States parties have reached 168, a total of 2171 wetlands were included in the internationally important wetland directory, with a total area of more than 200 million hectares. Since the addition of the Wetland Convention in 1992, my country has designated 64 internationally important wetlands, including 63 mainland, 1 in Hong Kong.

Standard
Group A Standard: The area contains typical, rare or unique wetlands type
standard 1: If a wet floor is included in an appropriate organism The geographic area is known, and the natural wetland type is known, and the international importance should be considered.
B Group Standard: International Importance of Species Diversity
Based on Species and Ecological Group Standard
Standard 2: If a piece of wetlands support It is vulnerable to attack, intercropped, endangered species or threatened ecological communities, then its international importance should be considered.
Standard 3: If a wetlands supports an implanar plant group for a variety of species diversity of a particular biological geographic region, it should be considered to consider its international importance.
Standard 4: If a wetland supports an important phase of the history of certain animal and plant species, or can provide shelter places when they are in bad survival conditions, then their international importance should be considered. .
Based on the standard
standard 5: If a wetlands regularly support the survival of 20000 or more waterfowl, then its international importance should be considered.
Standard 6: If a wetlands regularly support a 16% of the individual individuals of the sub-population, it should be considered.
Based on fish-based standard
standard 7: If a wetland supports a large proportion of local fish belly, seed or sub-seed life history stages, inter-plant interactions or It is conducive to global biodiversity because of a typical fish population that can reflect wetland efficiency or value, it should consider its international importance.
Standard 8: If a wetland is an important foraging place for some fish, a homomorphic route, a warehouse, or for the purpose of breeding (whether these fish live in this wetland), Then you should consider its international importance.
