The Ganges is an important source sustaining biodiversity on the Eearth

The Ganges is an important source sustaining biodiversity on this planet. One of the important species of fish is Gangetic Dolphin (Platanista gangetica)  is found in the Ganges and conserved in a Sanctuary called Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary located in dynamic environment of the Ganges. According to  Prof (s) Sunil K. Choudhary, Brian D. Smith, Subhasis Dey, Sushant Dey and Satya Prakash from Vikramshila Biodiversity Research and Education Centre, T.M. Bhagalpur, University, Bhagalpur Bihar (India)  : -  “Establishing an effective wildlife sanctuary is a challenging task. This is especially true in a dynamic environment such as the Ganges River, where flood cycles cause massive changes in the landscape, both seasonally and annually. The challenge is also great because resources within the Sanctuary support one of the world’s most economically impoverished human populations.”
