Freshwater environments include rivers, lakes, wetlands, streams and underground aquifers. These are crucial for the sustenance of life on the planet. India faces an alarming problem of water scarcity. This is only getting worse with the loss of wetlands—places where the land is covered by water seasonally or permanently. Wetlands provide crucial social, economic and environmental services. From controlling floods to generating livelihoods, wetlands are integral to our shared healthy future.
Nearly two of every five wetlands in the country have lost their natural existence in the last 30 years. Around 40% of water bodies have lost quality for the survival of aquatic animals like turtles and dolphins.
WWF-India works with governments, people and other partners to reverse this damage. With every wetland rejuvenated, we recharge groundwater, mitigate climate change and preserve the region’s biodiversity. Additionally, our river rejuvenation programme ensures the ecological integrity of rivers and their associated ecosystems and sustainable water management.
Your support can breathe new life into our water bodies.
Your support will help WWF-India:
Bring wetlands back to life and ensure water security for millions
Restore the health and connectivity of rivers
Save freshwater turtles, gharials, and Ganges river dolphins from extinction
Train community stewards called Water Mitras in preserving water bodies and their biodiversity
Educate thousands of kids and hundreds of teachers with the Water School Programme
