If a wetland of international importance is brought under the…

Changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring or are likely to occur in the wetland as a result of human interference
The country in which the wetland is located should enact a law to prohibit any human activity within five kilometres from the edge of the wetland
The survival of the wetland depends on the cultural practices and traditions of certain communities living in its vicinity and therefore the cultural diversity therein should not be destroyed

Answer

(a) Correct. The Montreux Record under the Ramsar Convention lists wetlands where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring, or are likely to occur due to human interference.
(b) Incorrect. Montreux Record does not mandate a 5 km no-human-activity legal buffer around the wetland.
(c) Incorrect. This is not the criterion for inclusion in the Montreux Record; it is about ecological change and threat, not cultural dependence.
(d) Incorrect. A wetland on the Montreux Record does not become a World Heritage Site; these are separate international designations.
