The World Wetlands Day on February 2 went unnoticed in Mumbai; seven islands that swallowed the sea and are still gobbling up creeks, mangroves, marshes, lakes, salt pan lands, rivers and even drains.
One more wetland in India has been added to the list of recognised sites of international importance under the treaty of Ramsar Convention, taking the number of such wetlands in the country to 42, the highest in South Asia. The latest site to be added to the list is a high-altitude wetland complex of two connected lakes, Startsapuk Tso and Tso Kar, in Ladakh. In a tweet, Union Environment Prakash Javadekar said, Happy to share that high-altitude wetland complex in Changthang region of Ladakh is recognised as wetland of international importance. The complex is a notable example of two connected lakes, the freshwater Startsapuk Tso and the hypersaline Tso Kar. Now, India has 42 Ramsar sites.
