#RamsarSite #GogabeelLake
Bihar’s Gogabeel (Gogabil/Goga Beel) Lake has been recognised as India’s 94th Ramsar Site (Wetland of International Importance), making it a high-value topic for UPSC/State PCS current affairs and Environment & Ecology preparation.
​
Located in Katihar district, Gogabeel is an oxbow wetland situated between the Ganga and Mahananda rivers, and during floods it connects with these rivers—showing why wetlands are critical for climate resilience.
​
This wetland is also known for community-led conservation, as it is described as Bihar’s first “Community Reserve” managed and conserved by local people.

In this video, you will understand:

Why Gogabeel is more than “just a lake”: a biodiversity hotspot and a key ecological asset.
​
Wetlands as nature-based solutions: flood control, groundwater recharge, and support for livelihoods/food security.
​
UPSC-relevant linkages: Ramsar Convention (1971), wetland conservation, biodiversity, sustainable development, and climate resilience.
​
Why Gogabeel matters for birds: it is an important wintering ground on the Central Asian Flyway.
