Question

India is a party to the Ramsar Convention and has declared many areas as Ramsar Sites. Which of the following statements best describes as to how we should maintain these sites in the context of this Convention?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because the core philosophy of the Ramsar Convention is the wise use of wetlands. This is defined as the maintenance of their ecological character, achieved through the implementation of ecosystem approaches, within the context of sustainable development.

The convention does not advocate for making sites inaccessible or banning all human activity. Instead, it promotes a balance where the conservation of the ecosystem happens alongside human activities that do not compromise the natural resources for future generations. Therefore, simultaneous sustainable use is the key principle governing Ramsar sites.

Answer

Conserve all the sites through ecosystem approach for a period without any exploitation, with specific criteria and specific period for each site, and then allow sustainable use of them by future generations

Conserve all the sites through ecosystem approach and allow their simultaneous sustainable use
