An awareness film created in collaboration with Wetlands International South Asia.
Wetlands occur wherever water meets land. These unique habitats include mangroves, peatlands and marshes, rivers and lakes, deltas, floodplains and flooded forests, rice-fields, and even coral reefs. Healthy wetlands are central to solving the interconnected climate, biodiversity, and water crises.
India’s wetlands ranging from coastal mangroves and inland lakes to peatlands and salt marshes, play a critical role in biodiversity conservation, water regulation, and carbon storage. Sites such as Chilika Lake, Sundarbans, Loktak Lake, Vembanad Lake, and peatlands in the Himalayas and Northeast India are not only ecological hotspots but also essential carbon sinks. These ecosystems contribute to climate resilience but are increasingly threatened by unsustainable development and climate change.
