In a significant development for the conservation of aquatic biodiversity,
plans are underway to establish a dolphin sanctuary in the Chambal River of
Uttar Pradesh. The Chambal River, known for its rich and diverse ecosystem,
is home to the endangered Gangetic river dolphins, whose population has
been steadily declining due to various factors. The creation of a dedicated
sanctuary aims to provide a protected habitat for these majestic creatures
and promote their conservation. This initiative reflects the commitment of
the Uttar Pradesh government to preserve and safeguard the state’s natural
heritage. The sanctuary is expected to contribute to the revival of the
dolphin population while also fostering ecotourism and raising awareness
about the importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems.
