Motorboat smoke and noise are chasing away Jagadishpur lake birds

Nepal’s key bird sanctuary could lose its Ramsar status if destructive tourism continues.

Conservationists have raised serious concerns about the operation of a motorboat in Jagadishpur lake , a Ramsar wetland site of international importance. They warn that the newly introduced 10-seater motorboat is disturbing the habitat of aquatic birds, mammals, and reptiles in the area.
