The endangered floating city of the Himalayas - BBC REEL
In the remote northern region of Kashmir, the gorgeous Dal Lake provides livelihood to the growing population surrounding Srinagar city.
A historical landmark and popular tourist destination, the lake is home to ancient houseboats and extensive floating gardens. But massive urbanization, land encroachments, waste problems and a myriad of other environmental issues threaten its sustainability. Although a governmental conservation act has been in place for 22 years, only a holistic approach and the inclusion of the community is believed to save this pristine beauty.
