Cleaning and restoring the Periyar River ecosystem for healthier waterways.

River Periyar Cleanup

Restoring the Periyar River

The Periyar River is the longest river in Kerala, providing water to millions of people and sustaining rich biodiversity. However, pollution, encroachment, and waste dumping have degraded its health significantly over the years.

Our River Periyar Cleanup project brings together volunteers, local communities, and government agencies to clean river banks, remove waste, restore natural flow, and create awareness about river conservation.
