Migratory birds return to UP’s 10 Ramsar sites, boost eco-tourism

Lucknow, Dec 8 (UNI) With the onset of winter, all 10 Ramsar (wetland) sites in Uttar Pradesh have once again come alive with the arrival of migratory birds. These rare species, travelling thousands of kilometres, have found a haven in the state’s wetlands, transforming these naturally scenic locations into major attractions for tourists and bird watchers.
UP Tourism and Culture Minister Jayveer Singh said here on Monday that the Uttar Pradesh Eco-Tourism Development Board is continuously working towards the conservation of wetlands and the improvement of tourist facilities. The aim is to provide a better experience for nature lovers and bird watchers while also promoting environmental awareness.
He said that two major projects - Sur Sarovar in Agra and Haiderpur Wetland in Muzaffarnagar - have already been developed successfully. At the Sur Sarovar Bird Sanctuary, facilities such as parking, pathways, watch towers, souvenir shops, signages and toilets have been developed at a cost of Rs 167.85 lakh, making bird-watching more convenient for visitors.
