|Earth Exploration Toolbook Chapter: Analyzing Wetlands| The
Ramsar Wetlands Data Gateway is a database containing
information on protected international wetlands. In this
activity, users search the database to find a wetland that they
are interested in helping to protect. Using the database search
capabilities, users select various wetland characteristics and
generate a report on the sites that meet their search criteria.
Then, they access an interactive map to view the locations and
nearby features of the identified wetland sites. Next, they
narrow the choices down to a single wetland that they would like
to protect and gather further information about it. Finally,
users prepare a brief report to persuade others of the value of
protecting the site. Intended for grade levels: Type of
