Arunachal Pradesh became the first state to have Glaw Lake recognised as its inaugural Ramsar Site, making it India's 101st Ramsar Site. Located within the Kamlang Tiger Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary in the Eastern Himalayas, Glaw Lake is a natural freshwater wetland known for its exceptional ecological value. The area supports more than 150 tree species and 49 orchid species, along with diverse flora and fauna. Ramsar recognition highlights the importance of conserving wetlands for biodiversity, climate resilience, water security, scientific research, and sustainable livelihoods while strengthening India's commitment to protecting ecologically significant ecosystems.
