Breeding may boost gharyal population [1]

Natural breeding of gharyals in the Chambal river has come as a ray of hope after the existence of the species was endangered with more than 100 of them dying due to a toxic chemical from end of 2007 to early 2008. The actual number of ghariyals is still unclear as the census would be carried out in February.
