Abstract
The Convention on Wetlands is the intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources (Ramsar 2024). I use the example of Ndumo Game Reserve, a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to question the effectiveness of the Convention and appeal for clarity on its implementation. As Ndumo meets all the criteria for intervention as an endangered Ramsar site, why has Ramsar SA refused assistance or advice from Ramsar? What to do when signatories of the Convention refuse to allow assessments, or accept advice or funding, for their threatened Ramsar wetlands?
