Haiderpur wetland in Uttar Pradesh recognised as Ramsar Site

The Haiderpur wetland, abutting the Madhya Ganga barrier, about 10 km from Bijnor in western Uttar Pradesh, has been recognized under the 1971 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, bringing the total number of such designated areas in the country to 47, informs the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

The Site supports more than 25,000 waterbirds, serves as a breeding site for the near-threatened Indian grassbird and provides refuge to the northern subspecies population of the vulnerable swamp deer during its seasonal flood-driven migration. The site also regularly supports more than one percent of the population of greylag goose (Anser considered) and bare-headed goose (Anser indicus).
