GANDERBAL: Wildlife Conservation Fund (WCF) organised Environmental Leadership Workshop at Town Hall In Central Kashmir's Ganderbal District. We at WCF are thankful to Suhail Mehraj, Chief Coordinator, WCF for hosting the Workshop on important environmental issues confronting District Ganderbal. Ganderbal is an ecologically important and sensitive district and issues like illegal fishing, extraction of boulders from River Sindh, shrinking of agricultural land, encroachment of Wetlands and pollution of River Sindh due mismanagement of Solid Waste Rules and non implementation of environmental laws and Ban of Polythene during annual Amarnath Yatra were discussed and deliberated in detail.
