Amrit Dharohar
Wetlands are vital ecosystems which sustain biological diversity.
The government will promote their unique conservation values through Amrit Dharohar, a scheme that will be implemented over the next three years to encourage optimal use of wetlands, and enhance bio-diversity, carbon stock, eco-tourism opportunities and income generation for local communities.
Local communities have always been at the forefront of conservation efforts.
