Introduction
What if the disappearance of a wetland hundreds of kilometers away could worsen floods, droughts, and biodiversity loss in your own region?
From the floodplains of the Brahmaputra to the backwaters of Kerala, wetlands are among the most productive yet threatened ecosystems on Earth. Recognizing their immense ecological and economic value, nations came together in 1971 to sign the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands—the world's first global treaty dedicated to ecosystem conservation.
In this course, we will explore the origins, objectives, principles, and governance framework of the Ramsar Convention, along with its relevance to India's environmental policies, biodiversity conservation efforts, climate resilience strategies.
