Explanation:
If a wetland of international importance is brought under the 'Montreux Record', it implies that changes in the ecological character of the wetland have occurred, are occurring, or are likely to occur as a result of human interference. The Montreux Record is a register of wetlands that require special attention due to these ecological changes. It serves as a mechanism to raise awareness about the threats faced by these wetlands and encourages international cooperation for their conservation and management.
