Cagliari, 10 February 2026 – World Wetlands Day celebrations continue across Sardinia, coordinated by the MEDSEA Foundation. In 2026—marking the 55th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention—Sardinia once again takes centre stage with a programme that brings together environmental protection, local traditions and cultural heritage.
