Nicaragua
Observes
World
Wetlands
Day
Nicaragua
is
observing
the
World
Wetlands
Day
on
Thursday,
when
the
Ramsar
Convention
granted
an
international
acknowledgement
dedicated
to
the
protection
of
these
ecosystems
to
Playitas
de
Moyu.
The
place,
located
in
Dario
City,
Matagalpa,
won
this
condition
due
to
its
hydrological
and
biological
importance,
as
it
is
the
only
superficial
reservoir
in
one
of
the
driest
areas
of
the
country,
ensuring
the
survival
of a
wide
range
of
mammals,
reptiles,
fish
and
birds.
In
order
to
observe
the
day,
the
Ministry
of
Environment
and
Natural
Resources
(MARENA)
will
hold
activities
in
several
municipalities,
including
San
Miguelito,
Masaya,
Chinandega,
Apacunca
Valley
and
San
Juan
River.
The
actions
aim
to
present
ways
of
coping
with
the
consequences
of
climate
change
in
the
country
and
raise
awareness
among
agencies
and
people
about
caring
for
nature,
according
to a
press
release
from
that
institution
published
on
Monday. |
