💨 Abstract

The Maharashtra State Board of Wild Life declared the DPS wetland in Navi Mumbai as a Flamingo Conservation Reserve. This decision was taken to protect the flamingo population and potentially prevent air accidents at the Navi Mumbai international airport. The board also decided to extend the Bor Wildlife Sanctuary and protect sacred groves in the Western Ghats, and establish a committee to implement the Maharashtra Wildlife Action Plan.
