Explanation:

 For the first time, Uttar Pradesh has started notifying its wetlands lying outside the forest area and bird sanctuaries and declaring them as ‘protected’ wetlands.
The Ramgarh Taal in Gorakhpur has become the first notified and ‘protected’ wetland in the country which lies outside forest, and within city limits. UP has about 1.2 lakh wetlands that lie outside forest and around 500 that lie within. After being declared a ‘protected’ wetland, efforts have started to conserve the 684 hectare water body. The second process after notifying it as protected is to prohibit and restrict activities that are threatening to it in nature.
There will be sewage treatment plants, incinerators and mechanism to segregate solid waste to reduce pollution in the wetland. It will also get excess and exclusive funds for management.
