CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- February 2 is World Wetlands Day. The World Wetlands Day this year is themed on “Wetlands for a Sustainable Urban Future”. Recently, the “World Wetlands Day” site promotion activity was held at Longtousi Park. The activity enhanced the public’s knowledge and understanding of wetlands through presenting information and interactive experiences.

Currently, the global urban population is more than 4 billion. With the increasing population, the wetlands will assume an unprecedented important position. By 2050, 66% of the people in the world will live in urban areas. However, most of them don’t realize the value and importance of urban wetlands. In some cities and towns of rapid development, wetlands are often taken as wastelands. People dump rubbish at will and some wetlands are even filled or used for other purposes.

Little kids are participating in a wetland ecological experience game.

There were various displays at the site and the staff passed out information materials and organized games to engage citizens in the activity. The activities enhanced the public’s knowledge and understanding of wetlands by giving out information and interactive experience. The display area was mainly for information about wetlands, so the visitors could have a 3D understanding about wetlands in an interactive way.

The wetland ecological game was carried out as an interactive experience. The staff set corresponding game missions and display panels at the park by using the ecological functions and biodiversity of wetlands as the main clues. By experiencing and knowing about the functions and biodiversity of wetlands, participants could learn about the relationships between the wetlands and our lives, so as to facilitate the public’s understanding, concern and protection of wetlands. After finishing all game missions, the participants received a reusable shopping bag as the souvenir of Wetlands Day. (Translated by Huang Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
