Which of the following sanctuaries has been designated as a protected Ramsar site in 2026?
Patna Bird Sanctuary
The Ramsar Convention lists wetlands of international importance that need conservation and wise use. India adds sites in phases based on ecological criteria such as habitat for migratory waterbirds and biodiversity value.
Patna Bird Sanctuary, a shallow oxbow-lake wetland in Etah district of Uttar Pradesh, is a critical wintering ground for large flocks of migratory waterfowl, and in 2026 it was formally designated a Ramsar site, expanding India's Ramsar network.
Coringa is a coastal mangrove sanctuary in Andhra Pradesh, Barela is a bird sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh, and Vikramshila is a riverine sanctuary for the Gangetic dolphin - none of these carried the fresh 2026 Ramsar tag.
Hence, Patna Bird Sanctuary was designated a protected Ramsar site in 2026.
