The Issue

Mangroves play a critical role for ecosystems, acting as natural buffers to coastal erosion and providing habitats for a multitude of species. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to remove 250 acres of these vital forests for Versova-Bhayander road, a move that could have severe and lasting impacts on local wildlife and the community. Their action also contradicts with the Wetland (Conservation And Management) Rules, 2017, which categorically prohibits such activities. We urge the BMC to reconsider this decision and explore alternative solutions that would protect and conserve our precious mangrove forests. Sign this petition to add your voice to the demand to save our mangroves.
