On the eve of World Environment Day, India has achieved a significant milestone in its environmental conservation efforts, with two new wetlands added to the prestigious list of Ramsar Sites — Wetlands of International Importance.
The latest additions are:
1️⃣ Khichan in Phalodi, Rajasthan
2️⃣ Menar in Udaipur, Rajasthan
With these inclusions, India’s total number of Ramsar sites now stands at 91, marking yet another step forward in the country’s commitment to preserving its rich biodiversity and wetland ecosystems.
This achievement reflects the sustained focus of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on environmental sustainability and conservation. The expansion of protected wetlands underscores India’s dedication to building a greener, more ecologically secure future.
Congratulations to India — and especially to the people of Rajasthan — for this proud moment!
