Keshopur Wetland Faces Conservation and Tourism Challenges Despite Ecological Importance
The Keshopur wetland in Punjab, a Ramsar-designated community reserve and key habitat for migratory and Sarus Cranes, faces significant challenges. Despite past government promises to promote tourism and conservation, initiatives like an international photography competition and a wetland tourism circuit have not materialized. The wetland's area has shrunk, access roads remain in poor condition, and lack of funding hampers development. Local officials and experts emphasize the site's ecological importance but express concern over inadequate protection and infrastructure.
