The summary of the research paper is:
“The study highlights the importance of Ramsar designation in protecting wetlands of international significance. It evaluates and compares the ecological importance, biodiversity, and conservation status of four wetlands in Goa, India. Using data collection, biodiversity assessments, ArcGIS mapping, and interviews with Goa State wetland officials, the study identifies Carambolim Lake as the strongest candidate for Ramsar designation due to its diverse ecosystem, agricultural water source, wildlife support, and cultural value. Additionally, this study also focuses on the importance of wetland health cards for assessing ecological health.”
