Migratory birds unique identity of Gujarat, conserve them: Minister

Addressing an international seminar on wetlands, in Gandhinagar on Monday, the minister said, “Gujarat accounts for 23 per cent of the total wetland area of India and four wetlands of the state have been declared Ramsar sites (of international importance). Lakhs of birds, both local and international migrants, become guests of Gujarat every year. This is our unique identity. It is our collective responsibility to conserve these migratory birds.”
