4 more Indian wetlands get Ramsar recognition; matter of pride, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it is matter of pride that four more Indian wetlands have been included in the Ramsar list.

Four Indian sites have been recognised as wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. Two of them are in Gujarat and two in Haryana. With this, the number of such sites in the country has risen to 46. It is a matter of pride for us that four Indian sites get Ramsar recognition. This once again manifests India's centuries old ethos of preserving natural habitats, working towards flora and fauna protection, and building a greener planet. https://t.co/ARKemkU4rj pic.twitter.com/Ibyni7X9vB Union Environment Ministry said this is for the first time that two wetlands in Haryana -- Sultanpur National Park in Gurgaon and Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary in Jhajjar -- have been included in the Ramsar list.
