MANGROVES CONSERVATION IN CHEDDNAGAR ,MUMBAI GETS BOOST; RAHUL SHEWALE , MP TAKES UP CUDGLES

Envisioning threat to mangroves forests in ever exploding Mumbai, a fresh awareness campaign,to save such plants from land sharks and unscrupulous elements, is gaining momentum in recent past with local law maker Rahul Ramesh Shewale, taking up cudgels against any bid to spoil rich mangroves in Cheddanagar belt of the metro.   
Mr Shewale, who represents south central constituency of Mumbai in parliament, has urged youth and other Mumbakiers of cheddanagar to come forward with suggestions to save the forest green treasure. He has committed himself to the conservation work. Meetings will be organized shortly among locals and authorities to safeguard the mangrove forests in the area.

He said as and when he  had visited the area, he was mesmerized by the enchanting natural beauty of the belt, but unfortunately, the paradise now, he says, faces many wicked threats. ‘‘Mangroves faces destruction and incessant dumping disturbs natural underground drifts. Further the devastation can be mitigated if you (locals) opt for a recourse the trouble is huge bur not insurmountable challenge”.
He says many may be aware that cheddanagar   is unique to have its tight in the midst of a forest. It is not uncommon to see precious king fishers perched on cables and trees and other bright rich flora he says nowhere in Mumbai exists such lush growth of mangroves despite being encircled by roads.
The mangrove society of India, on its website says the word "Mangrove" is considered to be a combination of the Portuguese word "Mangue" and the English word "grove". Mangroves are salt-tolerant plants of tropical and subtropical intertidal regions of the world.
The specific regions where these plants occur are termed as 'mangrove ecosystem'. These are highly productive but extremely sensitive and fragile. Besides mangroves, the ecosystem also harbours other plant and animal species, the website mentions
Anthropological pressures and natural calamities are the enemies of the ecosystem. Growing industrial areas along the coastlines and discharge of domestic and industrial sewage are polluting these areas. Many studies have highlighted these problems and the conservation efforts are being considered, the website says.
