Renuka Ji Lake, a naturally occurring wetland with great cultural significance, lies tucked away in the Western Himalayan foothills of Himachal Pradesh. It was acknowledged as a wetland of international significance when it was named a Ramsar Site in 2005.
The lake, which is home to a wide variety of animals, fish, and birds, is vital to many livelihoods. The environment of the lake and the nearby fauna have come under more stress in the past few decades.
