How the Mahseer, King of Freshwater Fish, Is Being Saved | THT Films

Описание: Mahaseer - Species & Habitats Awareness Programme | The Habitats Trust Films

Once revered as the king of freshwater fish, the Mahseer now swims against a tide of extinction.
Found across India’s river systems, this majestic fish has long symbolized strength, purity, and balance. But pollution, overfishing, and damming have pushed its populations into alarming decline.
In this short film by The Habitats Trust, part of the Species & Habitats Awareness Programme, we explore how local communities and scientists are working together to protect this living legend — and what it takes to restore India’s rivers, one Mahseer at a time.

The Habitats Trust and MahaMTB present the pioneering first-ever Marathi language video series, the 'Species and Habitats Awareness Programme'. This episode is part of a whopping 100-episode undertaking by MahaMTB, supported by The Habitats Trust, to showcase lesser-known forest and marine species in their habitats.
