About Ramsar Sites & Wetland Conservation in India

This quiz opens with the Ramsar Convention itself, its own history, the "wise use" philosophy, the Montreux Record, and India's own considerable, rapidly growing list of Ramsar sites.

It then covers how a wetland actually earns its own place on the Ramsar List, the nine selection criteria, the many different types of wetlands, and the real threats these ecosystems actually face.

A considerable part of this quiz is devoted to India's own domestic wetland policy, from the National Wetland Conservation Programme through the Wetlands Rules of 2017, alongside the genuine ecosystem services wetlands actually provide.

It closes with a tour of India's own most famous individual Ramsar sites, from the Sundarbans and Chilika Lake to Loktak Lake and Tso Moriri, along with the wider real importance of wetland conservation itself.
