The animals at the Kanpur Zoo are having a terrible summer, according to news reports. Sewage water is collecting inside the zoo, and approximately 300 animals outside of the enclosures are drinking the contaminated water - a serious health hazard.

In summer, the Nawabganj Lake’s water level drops, causing sewage to become concentrated with toxic waste from Shardanagar, Indupuri and Vikasnagar. The water, which is slowly poisoning the animals, must be diverted out of the zoo.

You Can Help

Please ask the divisional commissioner of Kanpur to ensure that the Kanpur Development Authority (KDA) begins diverting the sewage water out of the zoo at once.

Urge the KDA to ensure that they are taking immediate action to stop the flow of the contaminated water inside the Kanpur Zoo to alleviate the suffering of the animals.
