Union Minister Bhupender Yadav launched the "Save Wetlands Campaign" in Goa, under which citizen partnerships will be built for conservation of wetlands.

• The campaign is structured on a “whole of society” approach for wetlands conservation, enabling affirmative action at all levels and involving all strata of the society, a senior official from the Union ministry said.
• The campaign, which will be conducted over the next one year, will involve sensitising people about the value of wetlands, increasing the coverage of wetland mitras and building citizen partnerships for conservation, he said.
