Dear UN Atlas Member,
The tragedy of the devastating earthquake in Haiti has been compounded by the logistical problems of a small island reliant on sea transport. As the country now prepares for the rainy season and the subsequent hurricane season, the United Nations is encouraging many residents of the overcrowded capital to return to the countryside. World Wetlands Day, celebrated on 2 February, reminds us of the importance of wetlands along the ocean coasts. The World Wetlands Day theme for this year is wetlands, biodiversity and climate change, with the slogan: Caring for wetlands - an answer to climate change.
