Gharial Research and Conservation Project

The Gharial Research and Conservation Project aims to protect the critically endangered gharial, a long-snouted crocodile native to India and Nepal. It involves studying their behavior, habitat, and population to understand their needs. The project also works to restore and conserve breeding areas, reduce threats like habitat destruction and pollution, and promote awareness. By monitoring gharial populations and engaging local communities, the project seeks to ensure the survival of this unique species and maintain healthy river ecosystems.
