Explanation

In 2025, India expanded its list of Ramsar sites to 96 [1]. According to official records and recent updates, Sakkarakottai Bird Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and Udhwa Lake in Jharkhand were designated as Ramsar sites in February 2025. Udhwa Lake's designation marked the first Ramsar site for the state of Jharkhand. In contrast, Rudrasagar Lake in Tripura was designated much earlier, on November 8, 2005. Similarly, Bakhira Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh was added to the Ramsar list on June 29, 2021. Therefore, only Sakkarakottai Bird Sanctuary and Udhwa Lake (statements 1 and 2) qualify as 2025 additions. Other 2025 additions mentioned in records include Khecheopalri Wetland in Sikkim and sites like Gokul Jalashay and Udaipur Jheel in Bihar.
