What else can be best birthday gift more than this. Thank you @ErikSolheim sir for appreciating my work @skumarias02 @ParveenKaswan @Rivertiger85 @TSAINDIAPROG

On #WorldAquaticAnimalDay, we remain committed to protecting aquatic biodiversity through integrated conservation efforts.

Proud to share that our team member Sushmita Kar presented our ongoing research and conservation work on the critically endangered #blacksoftshellturtle (#nilssonianigricans ) in Assam at the annual meeting of the DGHT's @ag_schildkroeten_dght held in Gersfeld, Germany.

On the International Day of Action for Rivers, we celebrate the Sarju — and the people working quietly every day to protect it. Along the banks of the Sarju River, our field team is taking action where it matters most. From river biodiversity assessments to community engagement,

The ITCP team conducted a session on Gangetic Dolphin rescue and the Kurma: Turtle Tracking Application at the Maulshree Auditorium, Kukrail Gharial Rehabilitation Centre. The session was delivered by Dr Arunima Singh and Sreeparna Dutta.

Our research is now published in "#NATURE'S" Scientific Reports. Deeply grateful and motivated to continue working for freshwater turtle species that need us the most. #freshwaterturtle #turtlesofindia #tricarinatehillturtle @TSAINDIAPROG

Continuous efforts for the conservation of the critically endangered Gharial in Uttar Pradesh have resulted in a noticeable positive trend in the Gharial population in the Ghaghra River and other habitats.The Endangered Species Project,LKO plays a leading role in this initiative!

A Comeback 30 Years in the Making: The Red-Crowned Roofed Turtle Returns to the Ganga! Once believed lost to the Ganga forever, the majestic and endangered Red-Crowned Roofed Turtle (Batagur kachuga) has made a triumphant return—after three decades. Thanks to the collective efforts of Namami Gange, the Turtle Survival Alliance–India (TSA–India), the Forest Department of Uttar Pradesh, and the National Chambal Sanctuary, what was once a river gasping for life is now writing a new story of hope and revival. On April 26, 2025, 20 turtles were released into the Haiderpur Wetland Complex, a vibrant and ecologically rich area that reconnects with the Ganga during the monsoon, allowing the turtles to gradually disperse into their natural habitat. This reintroduction — the first of its kind — follows extensive field studies, biodiversity assessments, and habitat evaluations conducted since 2020. Each turtle was fitted with sonic transmitters to ensure continuous monitoring and learnings on rewilding strategies, split between upstream and downstream release sites to compare adaptability outcomes. This milestone is not just about a species' return — it’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when science, policy, and partnerships come together. It reflects our broader mission: to not only clean the Ganga but revive its biodiversity, restore its ecological balance, and rekindle its legacy as a cradle of life. From no sightings in 30 years to 20 turtles reintroduced with cutting-edge tracking devices, this is not just a conservation milestone—it’s a resurrection. This is biodiversity restoration in action. This is what happens when science, policy, and partnerships come together for a river that defines a civilization. Namami Gange isn’t just cleaning a river—it’s healing an entire ecosystem. Let’s celebrate this rare return. Let’s protect it. Let’s flow forward. #NamamiGange #RedCrownedRoofedTurtle #HaiderpurWetland #RiverRestoration #TurtleSurvivalAlliance #UPForestDept #NationalChambalSanctuary #TurtleReintroduction #CleanGanga #BiodiversityRevival #JalSeJeevan #IndiaForRivers
