Congratulations to the city of Cape Town on achieving the international Wetland City status:
The conference took place on 10 November 2022 at the 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties for the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.Cape Town is the first city in South Africa to get an award for doing a great job of keeping its urban wetlands safe.
Cape Town becomes one of the 43 cities worldwide. Cities such as China’s Dongying, Nanchang and Yancheng, among many others, are part of the wetland cities listed in the past. The City’s application went through a rigorous review process and was approved alongside 24 other cities. The City’s wetlands have been highlighted negatively due to sewage spills, heritage issues and even environmental degradation, but that has since been rectified.
