Flamingo is the most awaited migratory bird in our city. India is home to two types of flamingos from a total of 6 recognized species around the world – Greater Flamingo and Lesser Flamingo. They have made an appearance in October itself in 2018 . This is very welcome feature as they had not come in 2017 winter & had arrived only in May 2018.

The Talawe Wetlands area is rich in biodiversity, has reserved mangrove forests and is the habitat of many bird species(80+) including migratory birds like flamingos. Its biodiversity / marine life has been studied by Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) and TERI who have issued various reports recommending that the area’s biodiversity be preserved.

But CIDCO doesn't see this wetland & has sold this & Chanakya Wetlands to builder Mistry Constructions for making buildings .
