VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED on MahaShivratriDay (Monday, 23 Feb 2009) for Vigilance in the forest areas of Mumbai & Thane, Maharashtra, India
 
23rd Feb 2009 is MahaShivratri, like every year a vigil will be kept by various individual volunteers, NGOs along with Forest Department(FD) at forest areas falling in  Mulund, Thane, Borivali region for Sanjay Gandhi National Park(SGNP) & Vasai region for Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (TWLS). As you may be aware during MahaShivratri day, 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 has reduced all this to a great extent.
 
I would keep a vigil at Ramnagar-Yeoor Range(Mulund-Thane) in SGNP & coordinate with individual volunteers, NGOs & the FD for this region. Interested individuals ready to volunteer can call at 9833707598 or write at tejal.roots@gmail.com 
 
There is always a need for more volunteers & this year is no different in fact very few have confirmed so far, I wonder what stops birders & nature lovers from giving out time for the forests they visit so often for education & entertainment. Though MahaShivratri falls on Monday this year, am sure you can take an off & do some special duty!! There are many who visit forest areas regularly for nature watch & taking out just one day for the forests should not matter. Lets have individuals watching wildlife also help to protect the forest areas for the wildlife.  
 
Do forward & inform all others in your contact residing in Mumbai & Thane to give a day for the wild.
 
Thanks,
Tejal Vishweshwar
Coordinator for Ramnagar-Yeoor Region, SGNP
