Temples of conservation
Temple sanctuaries of India play an important part in conserving fish diversity in rivers. River Mahanadi is an example. Posted on 12 Jan, 2018 11:54 AM

Rivers hold a special place in Indian civilisation and culture. They are treated divine and temples are located along the course of rivers. Rivers, with a variety of mesohabitats in it, support rich and diverse native fauna and act as natural reserve of fish germplasm.
