From celebrating the largest freshwater wetland in northeast Thailand to learning about protecting habitats for migratory birds in Cambodia, hundreds of people in Indo-Burma Regional Ramsar Initiative (IBRRI) member countries celebrated the value of wetlands on key international days this year. IUCN acts as the Secretariat for IBRRI, which provided co-funding for the events, with the aim of increasing awareness and strengthening the conservation of wetlands and key wetland species in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam.
