Lá Domhanda na mBogach 2026
What is World Wetlands Day?
World Wetlands Day is celebrated each year on 2 February to raise awareness about wetlands. This day also marks the anniversary of the Convention on Wetlands, which was adopted as an international treaty in 1971.
A United Nations International Day
On 30 August 2021 the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 75/317 that established 2 February as World Wetlands Day.
Why World Wetlands Day?
Tá beagnach 90% de bhogaigh an domhain díghrádaithe ó na 1700í, agus táimid ag cailleadh bogaigh trí huaire níos tapúla ná foraoisí. É sin ráite, is éiceachórais thar a bheith tábhachtach iad bogaigh a chuireann leis an mbithéagsúlacht, le maolú aeráide agus le hoiriúnú dó, le fáil ar fhionnuisce, le barainneachtaí domhanda agus eile.
Tá sé práinneach go músclóimid feasacht náisiúnta agus dhomhanda maidir le bogaigh d’fhonn a gcaillteanas tapa a aisiompú agus gníomhartha a spreagadh chun iad a chaomhnú agus a athchóiriú.
Is é an Lá Domhanda Bogach an t-am is fearr chun tuiscint na ndaoine ar na héiceachórais seo atá thar a bheith tábhachtach a mhéadú.
Lá Domhanda na mBogach 2026
World Wetlands Day 2026 explores the deep-rooted connections between wetlands and cultural practices, traditions and knowledge systems of communities across the world.
This year’s theme is “Wetlands and traditional knowledge: Celebrating cultural heritage.” The global campaign spotlights the timeless role of traditional knowledge in sustaining wetland ecosystems and preserving cultural identity.
Who is behind World Wetlands Day?
The World Wetlands Day awareness campaign is organized by the Secretariat of the Convention on Wetlands. Contracting Parties of the Convention on Wetlands have been celebrating World Wetlands Day since 1997, when it was first established.
Who can join?
World Wetlands Day is open to everyone — from international organizations, governments, wetland practitioners, to children, youth, media, community groups, decision-makers, to all individuals — as these ecosystems are important for us all.
Is deis é Lá Domhanda na mBogach chun comhordú a dhéanamh ar iarrachtaí domhanda, náisiúnta agus áitiúla chun feasacht a mhúscailt faoi bhogaigh.
Tá beagnach 90% de bhogaigh an domhain díghrádaithe ó na 1700í, agus táimid ag cailleadh bogaigh trí huaire níos tapúla ná foraoisí. É sin ráite, is éiceachórais thar a bheith tábhachtach iad bogaigh a chuireann leis an mbithéagsúlacht, le maolú aeráide agus le hoiriúnú dó, le fáil ar fhionnuisce, le barainneachtaí domhanda agus eile. Tá sé práinneach go músclóimid feasacht náisiúnta agus dhomhanda maidir le bogaigh d’fhonn a gcaillteanas tapa a aisiompú agus gníomhartha a spreagadh chun iad a chaomhnú agus a athchóiriú. Is é an Lá Domhanda Bogach an t-am is fearr chun tuiscint na ndaoine ar na héiceachórais seo atá thar a bheith tábhachtach a mhéadú.
Is glao práinneach é seo chun gníomhú. Is achomharc é chun caipiteal airgeadais, daonna agus polaitiúil a infheistiú chun bogaigh an domhain a shábháil ó bheith ag imeacht as ar fad — agus chun iad siúd atá caillte againn cheana féin a thabhairt ar ais.
