World Wetlands Day  and Arul Memorial Birthday February 2 2026

Every year, February 2 is observed to raise awareness about the importance of wetlands and the challenges they face.

This year, the Arulagam organisation observed Arul’s Memorial Birthday in conjunction with World Wetlands Day. 

The day was commemorated by planting trees along with students from a primary school near Kinathukadavu, cleaning the school premises, and arranging safe drinking water facilities for the students.

World Wetlands 2026 - This year’s theme is "Wetlands and traditional knowledge: Celebrating cultural heritage." The  global campaign spotlights the timeless role of traditional knowledge in sustaining wetland ecosystems and preserving cultural identity.
