Yokohama, 2 February 2026 —This year’s World Wetlands Day, celebrated on 2 February under the theme “
Wetlands and traditional knowledge: Celebrating cultural heritage,” invites the world to look beyond narrow economic metrics and recognize the deep, often overlooked value of wetlands — and the wisdom of the people who have long stewarded them. On Mexico’s Gulf Coast, in the state of Veracruz, this idea has been at the heart of ITTO’s work.
