Coverage: all 100 Ramsar Sites of India current to 5 June 2026 are plotted. Ramsar Sites are wetlands, so the gold layer distinguishes mangroves, estuaries, river reaches and wetland forests from lake or waterbody sites. Marker positions are representative points, not legal boundaries. Sources: MoEFCC Ramsar list, Ramsar Convention country profile, PIB: India’s 100th site and Esri India Living Atlas. India’s outline is aligned to the Survey of India Political Map, 2026.
