Gharial Project

The Gharial Project aims to conserve the critically endangered gharial crocodile. This initiative focuses on habitat restoration and breeding programmes. It involves local communities in conservation efforts. The project also raises awareness about the importance of biodiversity. Educational campaigns highlight the gharial's role in the ecosystem. Successful breeding has led to increased gharial populations in certain regions. The project is vital for ecological balance.
