Global Wetlands UNEP-WMC

This map features a dataset that shows the global distribution of wetlands. It was produced alongside the publication 'Wetlands in Danger", Dugan, P ed. (1993).

The wetlands data is overlayed on the Light Gray Canvas Map for reference purposes. This basemap provides nice contrast with the wetlands layer. You can change the basemap to a topographic map or imagery basemap to see more detailed features on the landscape. Use the legend or click on a feature to see the type of wetland.

This map is based on the Global Wetlands (1993) item published by UNEP-WCMC.
