There are 80 Ramsar sites in India as of January 2024.[1][2][3] These are wetlands deemed to be of "international importance" under the Ramsar Convention. For a full list of all Ramsar sites worldwide, see the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance.
According To WWF-India, wetlands are one of the most threatened of all ecosystems in India. Loss of vegetation, salinization, excessive inundation, water pollution, invasive species, excessive development and road building, have all damaged the country's wetlands.[4] The surface-area covered by Ramsar Sites are around 1,083,322 hectares.[5] Tamil Nadu has the highest number of Ramsar Sites in India with 16 Ramsar Sites.
Till 2014 there were 26 Ramsar sites across India. Since 2014 till date 54 new Ramsar sites have been added across India.[6][7]
