Beas Floods: Race Against Time to Save Punjab’s Endangered River Life
The Punjab Wildlife Department is engaged in a desperate race against time to rescue aquatic wildlife stranded by the devastating floods in the Beas River. Teams are working tirelessly to save endangered species.
Using boats, high-powered cameras, and binoculars, the department is meticulously monitoring the river for endangered dolphins, gharials, and other vulnerable species. The surging waters pose a significant threat, not only to their habitats but also risk sweeping them across the border into Pakistan.
The Beas River, known for its rich biodiversity, is home to a diverse range of aquatic life. This unprecedented flooding presents a serious challenge to the conservation efforts of the department.
The scale of the operation underscores the urgent need for robust flood mitigation strategies and proactive wildlife conservation measures in the face of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. The fate of these magnificent creatures hangs in the balance, highlighting the critical need for immediate and sustained action.
