Montreux records :

The Montreux Record is a register of wetland sites on the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring, or are likely to occur as a result of technological developments, pollution or other human interference. It is a voluntary mechanism to highlight specific wetlands of international importance that are facing immediate challenges. It is maintained as part of the List of Ramsar wetlands of international importance
At present Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan and Loktak Lake, Manipur are the two Indian sites listed under it.
Since 1993, Chilika Lake was also listed in Montreux Record due to the problem of siltation. Later in 2002, it was removed from the list as the problem of siltation was tackled by Government of India. Chilika Development Authority received the Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award for 2002.
