Representatives of Bahamas, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and San Vincent and the Grenadines The Ramsar Secretariat described the main progress and challenges of the Convention in the Americas and launched the book Wetlands in the Americas: the Role of the Ramsar Convention and the Benefits of the Designation of Ramsar Sites, a new publication that analyzes the present status of the Convention in the Western Hemisphere and illustrates the benefits both of being a member of this international treaty and its community and of designating each country s wetland treasures as Wetlands of International Importance on the Ramsar List, the largest network of protected areas in the world. Ms. Maria Rivera, Senior Advisor for the Americas and Mr. Royal Gardner launching the book Wetlands in the Americas Twenty-four presentations were offered in symposia covering such diverse topics as management and wise use of wetlands; private sector involvement in wetland conservation; communication, education and public awareness; participatory approaches to management; and wetlands and climate change. A lively exchange of experiences was made possible on key issues in the Americas region, ranging from wetland inventories and tools for assessing wetland health to legal aspects of wetland conservation, Mexico s CEPA Strategy, wetland education experiences in the Caribbean, and wetlands and poverty alleviation in Central America, among many others.

Americas Ramsar team The wetland festival came to a lively end with a biodiversity parade in Huatulco Explanada that was prepared by schools to call the attention to the necessity of caring for wetlands and their resources.
8 "Biodiversity parade" prepared by Huatulco schools The 40 Anniversary celebrations in Huatulco called upon the collaborative efforts of different partners of the Ramsar family, including Semarnat as Ramsar Administrative Authority and the National Commission for National Protected Areas-Conanp (the Ramsar Focal Point), as well as the involvement of Huatulco and other six municipalities, the association of hotels, tourist guides and schools, and the federal and local agencies and Mexican wetland specialists. At the international level, the participation of Ramsar Focal Points, non-contracting Parties, STRP members, representatives of international organizations and conventions, and invited panelists made the exchange of experiences especially fruitful and highlighted the major challenges in wetland conservation in the Americas. Overall, the event contributed a great deal to raising awareness about the Ramsar Convention in the Americas at different levels but, what is more important, it demonstrated that the key to success in wetland conservation is to be found in the collaborative work of partners sharing these common objectives.
