About this statute

This preamble states that Law 357 of 1997 approves the Ramsar wetlands convention. This article defines “wetlands” and “waterbirds” for purposes of the Convention. Cada Parte Contratante debe designar humedales para la Lista, describir sus límites con precisión y considerar sus responsabilidades internacionales al hacerlo. Las Partes Contratantes deben planificar para conservar los humedales de la Lista y, en lo posible, usarlos racionalmente; también deben informarse rápido sobre cambios ecológicos en esos humedales y comunicar esa información sin demora a la autoridad indicada en el artículo 8o. Each Contracting Party must support wetland and waterfowl conservation, including by creating natural reserves and taking custody measures.
