Wetlands in Manipur
Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, defined wetlands as “The areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters”. As per the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2017, “Wetland means an area of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters, but does not include river channels, paddy fields, human-made water bodies/tanks specifically constructed for drinking water purposes and structures specifically constructed for aquaculture, salt production, recreation and irrigation purposes”.
Wetlands act many significant functions in maintaining and restoring the ecological balance, maintains micro-climate, give ecological services and livelihood opportunities. The conservation of these wetlands in a holistic approach is an obligatory need in view of the current vulnerable situation because of the anthropogenic pressures.
The Manipur State Wetlands Authority (MSWA) was constituted on 31st January 2018 under the compliance of the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules 2017. The Directorate of Environment and Climate Change (DoE&CC) is assigned as the Nodal Office and Secretariat of the Authority. Significant steps are being taken for conservation of the wetlands in the state under this authority. Loss of wetlands in the state is an alarming situation, and it is prior most necessity to document those incredible wetlands and popularize their existence towards steady approach for government notification under the Rules with preparation of Integrated Management Plan (IMP) for each of the wetlands.
In the year 2021, Wetland Atlas by Space Application Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad, reported 132 nos. of wetlands (>2.25 ha) in Manipur. A reduction of around 30 wetlands in a decade was observed compared with the nos. of wetland recorded in the wetland Atlas 2010. However, decadal changes show an increase in wetland area of 4751 ha which includes mainly lake/pond and reservoirs.

Wetlands in Manipur
Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, defined wetlands as “The areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters”. As per the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2017, “Wetland means an area of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters, but does not include river channels, paddy fields, human-made water bodies/tanks specifically constructed for drinking water purposes and structures specifically constructed for aquaculture, salt production, recreation and irrigation purposes”.
Wetlands act many significant functions in maintaining and restoring the ecological balance, maintains micro-climate, give ecological services and livelihood opportunities. The conservation of these wetlands in a holistic approach is an obligatory need in view of the current vulnerable situation because of the anthropogenic pressures.
The Manipur State Wetlands Authority (MSWA) was constituted on 31st January 2018 under the compliance of the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules 2017. The Directorate of Environment and Climate Change (DoE&CC) is assigned as the Nodal Office and Secretariat of the Authority. Significant steps are being taken for conservation of the wetlands in the state under this authority. Loss of wetlands in the state is an alarming situation, and it is prior most necessity to document those incredible wetlands and popularize their existence towards steady approach for government notification under the Rules with preparation of Integrated Management Plan (IMP) for each of the wetlands.
In the year 2021, Wetland Atlas by Space Application Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad, reported 132 nos. of wetlands (>2.25 ha) in Manipur. A reduction of around 30 wetlands in a decade was observed compared with the nos. of wetland recorded in the wetland Atlas 2010. However, decadal changes show an increase in wetland area of 4751 ha which includes mainly lake/pond and reservoirs.
