Every year wetlands day is celebrated on February 2 to raise awareness about the importance of wetlands for people and our planet. The theme for 2023 is Wetlands Restoration. Wetlands play a special role in preserving the food chain and are essential components of ecosystems. Several species of wildlife including migratory birds and aquatic animals can be observed in wetlands. Nowadays, Wetlands have been facing various threats due to the impacts of climate change, anthropogenic activity, infrastructure development, pollution, etc. which leads to the rapid deterioration of the wetlands. It is time to cooperate on restoring of wetlands. Wetland restoration is crucial for a wide range of reasons. Act now for better Future

Indian Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has included Feb 2 as one of the important environment days on its official website (https://moef.gov.in/en/about-the-ministry/important-environmental-days/)

Indian wetlands have been threatened by introduction of exotic plants (like water hyacinth and salvinia), by rapid urbanization, expansion of agriculture, industrial pollution of wetlands, dredging, salination etc. There is no one fized solution to all these multitude of problems.
