Evidence Scorecard
Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.
Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.805); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

The Convention on Wetlands② of International Importance③ especially as Waterfowl Habitat (the Ramsar Convention①) was adopted in Ramsar, Iran, in February 1971 and entered into force globally on 21 December 1975. It is the oldest intergovernmental environmental treaty and obliges Contracting Parties to designate wetlands for the List of Wetlands of International Importance, promote their wise use, and establish wetland nature reserves. The Convention entered into force for the Republic of Korea on 28 July 1997, when Korea became the 101st Contracting Party. Korea now maintains multiple Ramsar Sites (including Upo Wetland, Suncheon Bay, and tidal-flat sites).
대한민국은 1997년 7월 28일 람사르협약 발효(세계 101번째 가입국)에 이어, 1999년 2월 8일 「습지보전②법」(법률 제5866호)을 제정하였습니다. 동법 제1조(목적)는 습지①와 그 생물다양성의 보전을 도모하고 습지에 관한 국제협약③의 취지를 반영함으로써 국제협력의 증진에 이바지함을 명시하여 람사르협약 이행을 명문화하였습니다. 동법은 환경부장관 또는 해양수산부장관이 습지보호지역·습지주변관리지역·습지개선지역을 지정할 수 있도록 하며(내륙습지는 환경부, 연안습지는 해양수산부 소관으로 이원화), 습지보전기초조사 및 습지보전기본계획 수립의 근거를 둡니다. 현행법은 2021년 1월 5일 일부개정(법률 제17844호, 2021년 7월 6일 시행)되었습니다.
