Cultural Wonders of Ramsar Sites
The Cultural Wonders of Ramsar Sites publication is a compilation of the rich cultural tapestry associated with India’s Ramsar Sites, documenting cultural practices, community traditions, festivals, folklore, art, legends, historical significance, and mythological narratives. This publication examines India’s Ramsar Sites not merely as protected locations on a map, but as vibrant landscapes that represent the interconnections among people, wildlife, and water. By exploring their cultural significance, we seek to emphasise that conserving these wetlands is not just a national concern, but a global necessity. This journey into India’s Ramsar Sites will reveal the hidden marvels of our wetlands and highlight their growing importance today. The information used in the document is sourced from the Ramsar Site Information Sheets, research articles, and popular articles, and is corroborated by site managers and knowledge partners. While efforts have been made to capture the essence of the rich cultural heritage of the Ramsar Sites, the sheer richness and vastness of the information may have inadvertently excluded some.
