🦦 World Otter Day 🌏🦦

World Otter Day brings awareness to the 13 otter species around the world. Otters are the perfect environmental indicators. As they are at the top of the food chain and live in a variety of habitats, their presence means that the ecosystem is healthy and thriving.

Otters in Southeast Asia are facing multiple threats, including poaching for the pet trade and habitat destruction.

NEWS has been working in the Indian Sundarbans towards Otter Conservation.

Supporting wetland conservation and restoration efforts is one way you can help save otters and their precious ecosystems.
