{'wetland': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'world heritage site': [3, 0, 4, 2], 'international importance': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'montreux record': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'ecological character': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'cultural practices': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'cultural diversity': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'traditions': [0, 0, 0, 4]}

The answer to the above question is option 1: "Changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring or are likely to occur in the wetland as a result of human interference."

This statement describes the condition that needs to be met for a wetland to be added to the Montreux Record. The other options are not related to the Montreux Record but rather to other aspects of wetland conservation.

Option 2 suggests the enactment of a law to prohibit human activity near the wetland, which may be a useful conservation measure but is not directly related to the Montreux Record.

Option 3 emphasizes the importance of cultural diversity and its preservation but does not relate to the Montreux Record`s objectives.

Option 4 refers to the designation of a wetland as a World Heritage Site, which is a separate process and does not necessarily indicate that the wetland is facing threats or changes in ecological character.
