Gharial awareness campaigns
Gharial awareness campaigns aim to educate people about the importance of conserving the gharial, a critically endangered freshwater crocodile native to India and Nepal. These efforts focus on highlighting the gharial's role in maintaining healthy river ecosystems, the threats it faces from habitat loss, pollution, and fishing, and ways communities can help protect it. Campaigns often involve community engagement, habitat preservation initiatives, and spreading information through media and schools. The goal is to foster understanding, reduce human-wildlife conflict, and encourage actions that support gharial survival and the overall health of river habitats.
