4. The primary objective of GlobWetland II is to facilitate the integration of remote sensing into the conservation and management of wetlands The GlobWetland II project contributes to the set up of a Global Wetlands Observing System (G-WOS) as per the strategy 1.2 of the Ramsar Strategic Plan 2009-2015 adopted at last Conference of the Parties, in Changwon, South Korea. Creation of standard and comparable geo-information products (principally based on EO technologies) from country to country about the status and trends in wetlands ecological character; Creation of a common framework/ infrastructure and methods based on remote sensing for harmonizing the implementation and reporting to the Ramsar Convention; GlobWetland II Objectives
