Invitation to provide translations of Ramsar documents of wider relevance to other Parties

Date: 08.03.2019

 
Resolution XIII.6 (Language Strategy for the Convention) instructs the Secretariat, with the assistance of Contracting Parties and Ramsar Regional Centres, to implement a cost-effective mechanism to make translated Ramsar documents of wider relevance to other Contracting Parties available on the Convention’s website www.ramsar.org.
 
Documents in languages other than English, French and Spanish can be accessed using the “language” filter in the website’s documents library. Accordingly, the Secretariat invites Parties to submit core Convention documents translated into non-official languages in pdf or Microsoft word (doc) format by email to ramsar@ramsar.org.
 
Additionally, please note that Resolution XIII.6 encourages Parties to translate the most important Ramsar information documents into their own official languages and publish them on their national Ramsar websites.
