| Parks Victoria: Ramsar Wetlands page (1120 words) |
 | Victoria's wetlands are increasingly popular as tourist destinations - for example, Gippsland Lakes, Barmah Forest and Kerang Wetlands continue to experience large numbers of visitors and offer a range of recreational opportunities. |
| Australia, and therefore Victoria, became a signatory to the Convention on Wetlands when it was signed in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971. |
| Parks Victoria, together with the Department of Sustainability and Environment and other lead agencies (including catchment management authorities, water authorities and local governments), has developed a management framework to ensure a coordinated statewide approach to the protection of their significant environmental values. |
