The State of West Bengal has numerous small and large water-bodies which are among the rich tropical wetland systems of the world. Apart from being a repository of aquatic flora and fauna of this bio-geographic region, these wetlands provide suitable habitat for the resident and migratory waterbirds and contribute much to the socio-economic well-being of the local communities.
These wetlands change due to changes in land use pattern, pollution and lack of scientific management which may lead to complete destruction of these systems. Despite the great sociological, economic and biological importance of the wetlands of the area, insufficient systematic scientific conservation and management studies have been taken up. So an extensive effort is necessary to assess the conservation value and status of wetlands and their associated flora and fauna in West Bengal.
