Q. In which city was the Ramsar Convention adopted?
Answer: Ramsar, Iran
Notes: The Ramsar Convention, adopted in Ramsar, Iran, on February 2, 1971, aims to conserve wetlands globally. It recognizes various water bodies as wetlands, including lakes and marshes, provided they are not deeper than 6 meters at low tide. World Wetland Day is celebrated annually on this date. India has designated ten Ramsar Sites, but lacks a Central Wetland Regulatory Authority, relying instead on a National Wetlands Committee for advisory support.
