WWF-India Launches Initiative to Rejuvenate Chambal-Yamuna Rivers
WWF-India and Genpact have launched a multi-stakeholder initiative towards integrated management of the Chambal and Yamuna Rivers which will also contribute to the health of the Ganga.
The Chambal river is home to 77% of the global breeding gharial population. It is also an important habitat for our national aquatic animal—the Ganga river dolphin
This initiative aims to work with stakeholders—government, farming and riparian communities and technical institutions – to find nature based and sustainable approaches to address issues of over-abstraction of water, habitat degradation, and climate change and to strengthen basin governance.
