Complementary lenses on one wetland

Pick a Ramsar wetland, optionally bring your own monitoring data, then read its condition in several ways — each tab a different, deliberately distinct perspective on the same site, and the National comparison tab sets it beside the other Ramsar sites in its country. They're designed to work together, not to replace one another.

1

Pick a wetland

Search or click the map to focus the whole tool on one Ramsar site.

2

Add your data (optional)

Upload a CSV of local monitoring (e.g. waterbird counts) and tag each column as wetland condition, a driver or a threat.

3

Explore the tabs

Your data flows into every view, coloured by the group you assigned and dashed to mark it as yours.

Live data: the map & search span all ~2,300 Ramsar sites from api.ramsar-monitoring.org/ramsar-points, and selecting any site pulls its indicator time-series live from the assessment API — so every tab works for any wetland (four sites are also bundled for offline use). Uploaded data stays in your browser for the session only. For the linked tab experience, a Chromium browser (Edge / Chrome) is recommended.
