In 1981, Chilika Lake was designated the first Indian wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention
The Irrawaddy dolphin is the flagship species of Chilika lake. Chilika is home to the only known population of Irrawaddy dolphins in India.
In 1992, the Government of Odisha, concerned by the degradation of the lake's ecosystem and cognizant of significant numbers of people who were dependent upon the lake's resources, set up the Chilika Development Authority (CDA). The CDA was set up for restoration and overall development of the lake under the Indian Societies Registration Act.
In November 2002, the Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award was presented to the Chilika Development Authority for "outstanding achievements in the field of restoration and wise use of wetlands and effective participation of local communities in these activities"
