Mysuru: Mysore School of Architecture (MSA) and Mysore School of Design had jointly organised a walk to Lingambudhi Lake to sensitise students on the importance of protecting wetlands on the occasion of World Wetlands Day (Feb. 2).
World Wetlands Day commemorates the adoption of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971, which came into force on Dec. 21, 1975. This global observance underscores the vital role wetlands play in biodiversity conservation, water purification and climate regulation. Despite their importance, wetlands are threatened by rapid urbanisation, pollution and habitat destruction.
