The new sites are located in the states of Uttarakhand, Telangana and Tamil Nadu. The designation of these sites is part of the government's efforts to protect wetlands and promote sustainable development.
Wetlands play an important role in protecting both human health and the environment. They help to reduce floods and hydro-logical hazards, and provide drinking water, food and other essential services. The designation of new Ramsar sites will help to protect these resources and promote sustainable development.
What is a Ramsar site?
A Ramsar site is a wetland that has been designated by the United Nations Convention on Wetlands to be of international importance for its ecological and human values.
The GoI has designated two new Ramsar sites in India - the Chilka Lake Wetland and the Kanha National Park Wildlife Sanctuary. The total number of Ramsar sites in India now stands at 10.
Ramsar sites are important because they help to protect important wetlands from being destroyed. They also help to protect the environment and people who live around them. The new Ramsar sites will help to protect many different types of wetland, including mangroves, salt pans, and floodplains.
Why are Ramsar sites important?
Ramsar sites are important for a variety of reasons. First, they provide a valuable habitat for wildlife. Second, they help to preserve the environment and protect our water supplies. Third, they help to preserve cultural heritage and archaeological sites.
Now, the GoI has designated a total of nine new Ramsar sites. This brings the total number of Ramsar sites in India to 27. The new sites are located in Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu.
These new sites will help to preserve important ecosystems and habitats. They will also help to protect our water supplies and cultural heritage.
