Gharial Rehabilitation Project

The Gharial Rehabilitation Project is an initiative aimed at conserving the critically endangered gharial, a long-snouted freshwater crocodile native to India and Nepal. The project involves rescuing and breeding gharials in captivity, then releasing healthy juveniles into their natural river habitats. It also focuses on habitat protection, reducing threats like poaching and pollution, and monitoring gharial populations. By restoring suitable environments and ensuring genetic diversity, the project seeks to boost wild gharial numbers and secure their survival for future generations.
