The Ramsar Convention, which took its name from the Iranian city where it was signed in 1971, is an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and sustainable (or ''wise'') use of wetlands and their resources.
Proteger is confident that adding the Parana-Paraguay river basin to the Ramsar list would attract enough international attention to the region to draw investment in sustainable development projects, in which there would be broad participation by local stakeholders.
However, ''Defining strict borders to delimit a site poses the risk of failing to achieve the objective of protection and rational use of an ecological system, which is very elastic in terms of its outer borders, and rich in biodiversity,'' added Neiff, who is also actively participating in the project.

There was also the skirmish of Berlin when the Argentinians decided that having failed to beat Germany over 120 minutes and a penalty shootout they would kick them off the pitch instead.
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo comes top of that list and while there is no doubting his talent, his diving as he did in the French penalty area in the semi-final was blatant.
Not that the French were averse to acting, Thierry Henry's claim after the Champions League final that he would never cheat disappeared in one moment of the second round match against Spain as he fell to the ground clutching his face when not even touched by Carles Puyol.

Argentina was at war within itself during during these seven years of "Dirty War." It was only after losing another war that the generals stepped down in humilliation, claiming that they had accomplished their goals of ridding the country of "subversion" and restoring the Argentinian economy to stability.
After Raul Alfonsin assumed the presidency in 1983 Argentinians began to come to terms with the bloody legacy of the "Dirty War." Although many Argentinians prefer to leave the past behind, the whole of Argentinian society, culture, and politics was profoundly altered by military rule.

As Banger and van Eijs were added to the transfer list, Dundee chief executive Peter Marr stressed that the decision to sell Boyack was taken because he has only one year remaining on his current deal.
Marr insisted that the decision made business sense with the player unlikely to sign a new contract, pointing to the loss of Iain Anderson without a fee a year ago.
"The decision to place him on the transfer list was taken in the knowledge that he would almost certainly have moved on for nothing in a year's time and it was taken by a manager with the long-term future of this club in mind."
