India is endowed with various kinds of wetlands. Among these, floodplain wetlands, locally known as Beels or Baors, are more than an important regulator of many environmental and climatic factors and a habitat for a wide array of biodiversity — they also play a crucial role as a source of livelihoods to the people living on or around their periphery. Small-scale wetland fisheries directly provide livelihoods and nutritional security to approximately 2 million people of India, particularly in Assam, West Bengal and Bihar. However, these fishers receive less attention due to their poor socio-economic status and their voices are often ignored by the government. As a result, the resources on which they rely are getting overexploited, threatening their livelihoods.
