Many of you may be aware MahaShivratri is the worst day to Sanjay Gandhi National Park(SGNP) & Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (TWLS) as people enter from different directions to visit the temples in these forests. Some get inside the forests to gamble, drink, roam about, also deliberately put fire... while doing so the wildlife gets disturbed, forest fires occur, litter is spread all around, etc. Every-Year vigil by various individual volunteers, NGOs along with Forest Department has reduced all this to a great extent.
23rd Feb 2009 is MahaShivratri, I would keep a vigil at Ramnagar-Yeoor Range(Thane) in SGNP & coordinate with various individual volunteers, NGOs & the FD for this region. There is always a need for more volunteers in this area, so interested individuals can call me at 9833707598 or write at [email protected] Do inform or forward this mail to others in your contact too. Though MahaShivratri falls on Monday this year, am sure you can take an off & do some special duty!! There are many who visit SGNP regularly for nature watch & taking out just one day for the forests should not matter. Let us have birders also to help the birds they like to see in these forest areas. For the forests, Tejal Vishweshwar <<<<<<<<<<<<< Nurturing Grounds art .ideas .actions 9 8 3 3 7 0 7 5 9 8 >>>>>>>>>>>>> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "indiantreepix" group.
