Freshwater Ecosystems Webinar Series

[Steve Lockett]

From 21st to 27th September, Learn - Indian Freshwater Ecosystems (L-IFE) is hosting a daily webinar to help people from high school students to interested adults understand more about precious connections within freshwater ecosystems. Each day from 7.30pm (IST), our expert speakers will demonstrate why links between hydrological process, species and habitat are critical to the survival of all.

L-IFE is a collaboration between volunteers from Nityata River Otter Conservancy, Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises of India, and Mahseer Trust.
