New Delhi [India], February 3 (ANI): A three-day-long seminar emphasizing the conservation of wetlands in the country was concluded in New Delhi on Wednesday.
The event, organised by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) and India Water Foundation, was virtually joined by several experts and environmentalists. They delivered viewpoints on the rejuvenation of wetlands in the country.
The Executive Director (Finance) at NMCG Rozy Aggarwal said, “Wetlands act as a lung to the rivers and the ecology of the river ecosystems, but in the past because of rapid development these wetlands are shrinking. So, the world should focus on the need for conserving the wetlands and keeping them alive and restored for maintaining the health of the river and the ecology”.
