India’s Ramsar site tally reaches 103 🇮🇳🌿
India continues to strengthen its commitment to wetland conservation, with Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh and Sauj Jheel in Uttar Pradesh becoming the latest additions to the list of Ramsar Sites.
This milestone highlights the importance PM Shri @narendramodi ji’s government has been laying on wetlands in conserving biodiversity, enhancing water and climate security, and sustaining local livelihoods.
These additions reaffirm India’s ongoing efforts to conserve its rich wetland ecosystems and strengthen the ecological, climatic and livelihood benefits they provide. 🌏💧
I congratulate Uttar Pradesh and Chandigarh for this feat.
Dear travellers, do visit Sukhna and Sauj next time you have a couple days at hand.

For three decades, WWF’s Living Planet Report has tracked the decline of nature. The latest edition shows wildlife loss continues at an alarming rate, but also highlights that nature can recover when we act together.

WWF’s Living Planet Report 2026 points to habitat loss and degradation as the most frequently reported threat affecting monitored wildlife populations. But the report also charts a way forward through the science of hope.

The Living Planet Report (LPR) notes that freshwater species are faring the worst.
But not all species are declining. In fact, around half the populations in LPI are stable or even increasing. Read about the science of hope: zurl.co/RNvIc

The report also highlights the science of hope: Nature can still recover if we act together and follow clear pathways to trigger positive tipping points in the energy, food and finance systems.

Nearly 6,000 monitored vertebrate species across more than 35,000 populations declined by an average of 73% from 1970 to 2022, the World Wide Fund for Nature said in its latest Living Planet Report published on Thursday. reut.rs/4ycOhkK reut.rs/4ycOhkK

Global wildlife populations have declined by an average of 73% in five decades. But India offers some hope.
@WWF's latest Living Planet Report highlights India's conservation gains, particularly among tigers, lions and rhinos.
Yet experts warn that protecting wildlife beyond reserves and tackling human-wildlife conflict remain major challenges.

A five-year GPS tracking study by the Assam Forest department and WWF-India has provided new insights into the movement of wild elephants through forests, tea plantations, agricultural areas, and riverine habitats, generating crucial information on elephant ranging patterns and habitat use.

Listen to nature. It tells us: monitored wildlife populations have declined by an avg of 73% since 1970.
It also tells us: what falls can rise again. Elephants, tigers, green turtles, tuna. All made a comeback.
Not by chance. By people. Share with hope. #LivingPlanetReport

While attending the 72nd Wildlife Week celebration, we released two important reports strengthening Assam’s efforts towards science-based wildlife conservation and human-wildlife coexistence.
One was “Tracking the Giants”, a joint initiative of the Assam Forest Department and WWF-India, presents insights from 38,000+ GPS locations of five radio-collared elephants over five years, mapping their movement, habitat use, seasonal migration and transboundary passages and the other one was “Safeguarding Wildlife Movement” which documents the mitigation measures along NH-27 through the Dhansiri-Lungding Elephant Reserve, including underpasses, fencing, caution signage, speed breakers and other measures to facilitate safe wildlife movement.
These studies will help guide conservation planning, strengthen wildlife-friendly infrastructure and support safer coexistence between people and wildlife across Assam.
