Abstract
Priority setting in Environment and Environmental Research is an important activity for conservation and better utilization of available resources, particularly, for the unconscious people of the remote areas like Tripura of the country. Freshwater basins like wetlands are vulnerable to human induced changes for a number of reasons for a long time. Since Wetlands are considered ‘liquid treasures’ of a country, priority attention should be given to conserve Rudrasagar lake, the lone Ramsar Site in the state of Tripura, through Research, Education, Training and Awareness Programmes besides the laws framed by the government to restore the lake ecosystem along with their values in this decade of global warming, decreasing freshwater availability, extinction of different species, loss of environmental balance to gear up the pace of sustainable development for the mankind.
This paper aims to carryout a speculative study to prioritize Rudrasagar Lake as one of the potential area for Environmental Research in Tripura. The paper also highlights the reasons behind prioritization and the deliverables of the lake to the man kind for the sustainable development.
