This project was being proposed to initiate an effort to conserve the endangered Ganges river dolphin in Brahmaputra river system (within India) through the involvement of local communities residing in and around of the most prioritised identified habitats.
It was because the fact that due to the very remoteness of the existed dolphin habitats and inadequate management influence in and around most of these habitats to protect the dolphins, community-based conservation initiative is the best practice for the long term survival of the species in Brahmaputra river system
