Chhari-Dhand is an ecologically important wetland located in the Kutch region of Gujarat and has been recognised as the state’s fifth Ramsar site. The wetland supports rich biodiversity, including large populations of migratory birds as well as unique desert wildlife. Its designation as a Ramsar site highlights the importance of conserving wetlands that play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance, supporting migratory species, and sustaining local ecosystems. Along with Patna Bird Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh, the inclusion of Chhari-Dhand reflects India’s growing commitment to wetland conservation and biodiversity protection.
