India’s first teal carbon study, which focuses on the role of wetlands in climate adaptation and resilience, was conducted at Keoladeo National Park. Wetlands play a critical role in mitigating climate change by storing organic carbon, known as teal carbon, in non-tidal freshwater systems. Keoladeo National Park, a well-known wetland, was chosen for this study to highlight its importance in managing methane emissions and enhancing climate benefits through conservation efforts. Conservation of such wetlands is vital for maximizing their role in combating climate change.
