RSIS Training Webinar 2022
Date: 14.01.2022
Dear Ramsar National Focal Points and RIS-Compilers
We aim to facilitate the use of the online platform ‘Ramsar Sites Information Service (RSIS)’ and your tasks to upload and update Ramsar Site-related data in the ‘Ramsar Information Sheet (RIS)’. To this end, we propose three levels of hands-on training, according to your personal needs:
1. Introductory-level Webinar
We invite you to join a one-hour training webinar on the RSIS for Ramsar National Focal Points (NFPs) and registered Ramsar Site Compilers (RCs). The webinar is intended to help you designate and update Ramsar Site information by showing the different aspects of the system in action. After a short presentation of the RSIS and an overview of its public part, the presentation will guide you through the back end of the system by broadcasting live the view of a user working with the system. The following points will be covered:
- How to create a new Ramsar Site or launch an update.
- Explanation of the different parts and functionalities of your dashboard.
- How to navigate through the RIS online form.
- Details about the site location and GIS.
- How to complete data for criteria and their justification.
- How to submit an RIS to the Secretariat and respond to comments.
- How to use the RIS offline form.
During the webinar you will be able to ask questions. They will be answered and discussed during the latter part of the session and followed up by email where needed.
