Wetlands are unique type of ecosystems that arises when inundation by water produces soils dominated by aerobic and anaerobic processes. Wetlands are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plants and animals life. India has about 757.06 thousand wetlands with a total wetland area 15.3 m ha, accounting for nearly 4.7% of the total geographical area of the country, and Uttar Pradesh is India s fourth largest by land area, and most populous state, located in the north central part of the country. It spreads over 243,290 square kilometers (93,935 sq mt). There are 47 Ramsar sites in India and U.P.is home to 10 Ramsar wetlands. These wetlands provide numerous ecological goods and services but are under tremendous stress due to unplanned urbanization, industrialization and agricultural intensification, manifested by shrinkage in their size and decline in the hydrological, economic and ecological functions they perform. There is no proper regulatory framework for conservation of wetlands in India. Rehabilitation of wetlands is required because these are the most productive habitats on the planets. Restoration of wetlands can be achieved successfully only when from early planning to post implementation monitoring and are offered here for use by a wide variety of people and organization, ranging from Federal, state tribal and local agencies to outdoor recreation or conservation groups, corporation, land owners and citizen s groups. Future research should focus on institutional factors influencing their condition. This paper aims to draw the attention of environmentalists, scienticists, policy makers and academicians for the stressors of wetlands of Uttar Pradesh and their management strategies.
