Abstract: The state of Madhya Pradesh was Ramakrishna et al. 2006, Chandra 2000, created in 1956, total covering about 14.5% 2008 & 2009, Ramakrishna et al. 2006, of the total area of India. The elevation is Chandra et al. 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 largely 305 to 610 m. As per records total and Chandra and Kushwaha 2012a, 2012 b, forest area is 308,245 km2 annual rainfall is 2013, 2014a and 2014b respectively from 1800 mm and temperature is 22.50- 250C. Madhya Pradesh. Bhoj Wetlands, Bhopal, which is one of the Earlier the one species had been described by 26 Ramsar sites that India has designated Chandra and Kushwaha in 2015 form Bhoj under the Ramsar Convention.
