💨 Abstract

Maharashtra's mangrove cover has expanded by 1,239 hectares over the past two years due to conservation efforts and increased patrolling. State Forest Minister Ganesh Naik made this statement during a visit to the Thane creek. He highlighted the increase in flamingo population and instructed forest officials to address environmental issues such as plastic waste, oil slicks, and untreated water discharge.
