World Wetlands Day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wetlands_Day
"World Wetlands Day occurs annually on February 2, marking the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on February 2, 1971 when a small group of environmentalists signed an international agreement at the Ramsar Convention in Iran.[1]
Established to raise awareness about the value of wetlands for humanity and the planet, WWD was celebrated for the first time in 1997. Each year, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens have taken advantage of the opportunity to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits. Some of these benefits include: biologically diverse ecosystems that provide habitat for many species, serve as buffers on the coast against storms and flooding, and naturally filter water by breaking down or transforming harmful pollutants.[2]!
