#SaveGandakiRiver: A Movement to Protect Nepal's Lifeline

The Gandaki River is one of the most important rivers in Nepal. It is a lifeline for millions of people, providing water for drinking, irrigation, and hydropower. However, the river is under threat from pollution, deforestation, and climate change.

In response to these threats, a new movement has emerged in Nepal called #SaveGandakiRiver. The movement is calling on the government to take action to protect the river, and is also working to raise awareness of the importance of the river.

What are the threats to the Gandaki River?

The Gandaki River is facing a number of threats, including:

• Pollution: The river is being polluted by sewage, industrial waste, and agricultural runoff. This pollution is harming the river's ecosystem and making the water unsafe to drink.
• Deforestation: The forests around the river are being cleared for agriculture and other purposes. This is causing soil erosion, which is clogging the river with sediment.
• Climate change: Climate change is causing the river's glaciers to melt, which is reducing the amount of water flowing in the river. This is making it difficult to meet the water needs of the people who depend on the river.

What is the #SaveGandakiRiver movement doing?

The #SaveGandakiRiver movement is working to protect the river by:

• Raising awareness: The movement is using social media, public events, and other methods to raise awareness of the importance of the river and the threats it faces.
• Pressuring the government: The movement is calling on the government to take action to protect the river,such as by enforcing pollution laws and investing in sustainable development projects.
• Supporting local communities: The movement is working with local communities to develop sustainable livelihoods that do not harm the river.
