Montreux Record


The Montreux Record is a register of wetland sites on the List of Ramsar [wetlands of international importance] where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring, or could likely to occur as a result of technological developments, pollution or other human interference. It is a voluntary mechanism to highlight specific wetlands of international importance that are facing immediate challenges. It is maintained as part of the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance.
