Why was the Save Rani Bagh Botanical Garden Action Committee formed?
Alarmed at the media reports that Jijamata Udyan better known as Rani Bagh will be partially closed down to enable its so-called transformation into a world class zoo we, a group of Mumbai citizens and nature lovers, formed a committee to create awareness and oppose the plans of the Brihamumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to convert a green haven into a concrete amusement park. Many of us are dedicated conservationists involved with environmental groups as volunteers and resource persons conducting nature trails and a host of nature education programmes.
