MUMBAI: The City Forest Project under the Conservation Department of the Bombay Natural History Society is an urban biodiversity initiative to protect the forests of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (TWLS).
The objectives of this initiative are:systematic documentation of the conservation issues of the urban biodiversity,conduct awareness campaigns among locals for the protection of flora and fauna, and eco-restoration of fringe areas through people's participation.
There is a severe human-leopard conflict in and around the SGNP. BNHS therefore initiated awareness campaigns from 2005 in all areas prone to leopard attacks. The BNHS team has, so far, interacted with more than 15,000 people in these settlements. SGNP and TWLS house number of temples, ashrams, and the Kanheri Caves - an archaeological Buddhist site. These sites attract scores of visitors on various religious occasions. The huge crowds bring along problems for the Park in the form of littering, forest fires, and general nuisance. Public awareness campaigns by the BNHS team along with more than 150 volunteers, other NGOs and the forest department has succeeded in controlling incidents of forest fires and curtailing litter during these festive seasons, both at SGNP and TWLS.
