Title: Ramsar in Action: Studies on the International Wetlands

By Dr. Joel Heinen Professor Earth and Environment

Abstract The Ramsar Convention is the oldest of the multi-lateral conservation agreements, with 170 current Parties, yet in many ways it is considered 'soft law' in comparison to many other international legal instruments. Here I discuss the many provisions of Ramsar and its implementation via a number of case studies I've done over the years, and currently, with various colleagues and students in Nepal, Uganda and the Caribbean.

Statement of Free Expression

FIU endorses the Florida Board of Governors' Statement of Free Expression to support and encourage full and open discourse and the robust exchange of ideas and perspectives on our campuses. In addition to supporting this legal right, we view this as an integral part of our ability to deliver a high-quality academic experience for our students, engage in meaningful and productive research, and provide valuable public service. This includes fostering civil and open dialogue in support of critical thinking in and out of the classroom, including events hosted by the university.
