Yes Kiran ji on several occasions Dr. Almeida has expressed his opinion that the forest should be left to itself, it has its natural way of adjustment and thriving. He is I suppose speaking from life time spent in the field and writing on flora. However, inspite of this on a plot at CEC that I have been studying since over two years now, one fine day I found a huge Gliricidia tree chopped and fallen across the the end of the plot. I could not understand the purpose.

Over decades this species have proliferated and now extend well beyond the tar road on either side, especially at the Goregaon/CEC side of the park as Ms. Rashida says. According to one of our experts, Marselin Almeida this tree does not appear to have done any harm to the original vegetation!
