While the theme for World Wetlands Day (WWD) 2024 is Wetlands and Human beings, this compilation of top ten wetlands (other than Ramsar Wetlands) reports reveals that on ground most of the wetlands and dependent people in India continue to be subject of degradation and neglect primarily due to absence of holistic restoration plans and clearly defined wetlands governance.
WWD 2024: Both Wetlands & Human Beings Remain Neglected
In fact, the crux of the matter is that we see no sign of the government working for the cause of rivers and wetlands, after putting name plates for 75 wetlands as Ramsar wetlands. In fact the state of Loktak lake of Manipur, one of the oldest Ramsar sites, is an indication, if any was required.
DRP NB 290124: Wetlands and Human Wellbeing: So little reflected in wetlands governance
The theme of the World Wetlands Day 2024 is appropriately, Wetlands and Human wellbeing. But that slogan is little understood and even less seen in the functioning of the government and governance of the wetlands.

Unbowed after joint US-UK bombing of Yemen, the Ansarallah revolutionaries warn of continued attacks in Red Sea until Israeli Genocide in Gaza is stopped
The Iran-aligned group’s statement, released on Wednesday, said all US and British warships participating in “aggression” against Yemen are targets. The statement stoked concern over the simmering tensions in the region as well as increased disruption to world trade.
The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have launched drones and missiles at shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 19. The group said the attacks are a response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
The US and Britain have struck back at Houthi targets in Yemen as they patrol the Red Sea in a naval coalition that has swapped numerous attacks with the Yemeni group.
In the latest exchange, the Houthis fired missiles at the US warship USS Gravely. On Tuesday night, US Central Command said its forces had shot down an antiship cruise missile.
The Houthi attacks have added a global economic element to the turmoil emanating from the war in Gaza.
Several shipping companies have suspended transits through the Red Sea, which is accessed from the Gulf of Aden, instead taking much longer and costlier journeys around Africa to avoid being attacked.

The Houthis said they will persist with their military operations until a ceasefire is agreed in the Gaza Strip and food and medicine are allowed into the enclave to ease a humanitarian crisis. They insist they are prepared to dig in for the long haul.
On Tuesday, Mohamed al-Atifi, commander of the Houthi forces, said: “We are prepared for a long-term confrontation with the forces of tyranny. The Americans, the British and those who coordinated with them must realise the power of the sovereign Yemeni decision and that there is no debate or dispute over it.”
