Ramsar Convention & India's Ramsar sites (tally)

UPSC Prelims consistently tests the exact number of India's Ramsar sites and their distribution across states, often in map-based or tally questions. Examiners focus on memorizing the current count (49 as of 2023), identifying newly designated sites, and understanding which states have the highest concentration. Common pitfalls include outdated tallies and confusing Ramsar sites with national parks or wildlife sanctuaries.
