Bonn, 2 February 2021: Today, on World Wetlands Day, which is also the 50th anniversary of the International Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar Convention), Germany is pleased to announce the designation of its 35th "Wetland of International Importance". The Rosenheim Basin Bogs are part of one of the largest peatland complexes in southern Germany and are home to endangered species of sundew, as well as threatened species of birds, dragonflies, butterflies and grasshoppers. Intact and restored peatlands also play an important role in climate protection. With this designation, Germany commits to permanently conserve and promote this wetland. > More
