Denunciation of the Convention on Wetlands

July 31, 2025

Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On the Denunciation of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat.

The Federal Law provides for the denunciation of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat, signed in Ramsar on February 2, 1971.

The mechanisms of the Convention can no longer be effectively used to protect Russia’s wetlands, and continued participation in the Convention would have solely negative consequences for Russia in view of the increased politicisation of the Convention by certain interested parties.
