There are 19 National Nature Reserves in the Falkland Islands as designated under the Conservation of Wildlife and Nature Ordinance 1999. They cover an area of 354km², less than 3% of the total terrestrial area of the territory. Of these, 8 are owned by the Falkland Islands Government, two are owned by environmental or conservation groups and 9 are owned privately. Sea Lion Island and Bertha’s Beach, East Falkland, are each a Wetland of International Importance under the 1971 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. At the request of UK and UKOT Governments, UKOTCF undertook a review of actual and proposed Ramsar Sites across UKOTs and CDs, including Falklands.
