    Bringing Kashmir’s lakes back to life
    Wular and Dal lakes are among Kashmir's most famous natural treasures, but decades of pollution, encroachment and neglect have taken their toll.

Along the way, she discovers migratory birds returning, lotus flowers reappearing, and a circular economy transforming ecological waste into a valuable resource.(Photo: Local weed collectors in Dal Lake, Kashmir.
