UNCSD welcomes survey ​covering ​around 1,100 km ​of Ganga with the ​objective to assess and study  the ​distribution ​pattern and ​habitat ​suitability of ​Gangetic ​dolphins, ​smooth-coated ​otter, gharials,​ mugger, birds ​and smaller ​fauna such as ​turtles, snakes,​ lizards and ​frogs and ​aquatic ​invertebrates ​and of the ​Ganga river. The assessment would surely help in understanding which species of flora and fauna has evolved  or adapted or failed to adapt to the pollution in Ganges over last few decades.  It would also assist in  restoration/ re-development of River Systems with its flood plains and water bodies to restore the ecological balance
