The Namami Gange project is now eligible for UN-backed promotion, counsel, and funding because it has been declared World Restoration Flagship. It was chosen as a part of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, an international initiative coordinated by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The UN states that it aims to stop and reverse the global degradation of natural areas.
The 520 million people who live in and around the Ganges basin, according to a UN statement, stand to gain greatly from efforts to reduce pollution, increase forest cover, and improve the health of the river. The Ganges has deteriorated along its 2,525-kilometer course from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal as a result of climate change, population increase, industry, and irrigation, the statement claims.
According to the statement, the government-backed Namami Gange initiative, which was started in 2014, is "rejuvenating, preserving, and conserving the Ganges and its tributaries, reforesting areas of the Ganges basin, and supporting sustainable farming. Additionally, the project attempts to reintroduce several kinds of wildlife that are in danger of extinction, including river dolphins, softshell turtles, otters, and hilsa shad fish. The program, in which 230 organizations have so far taken part, has led to the regeneration of 1,500 kilometers of river.
