Every Water Body Matters!

Indian Softshell Turtles are found in streams and small ponds across Islamabad, including those near residential areas.

Even these small water bodies support valuable biodiversity and provide habitats for aquatic wildlife.

🌿 Let’s keep our streams clean, protect natural habitats, and respect every form of life.

Protect Nature, Preserve Biodiversity!
