mumbai mangroves

Did you know? Mumbai has superheroes. They’ve battled floods, cyclones, and sheltered flamingos. We’re talking about Mumbai’s coastal mangroves.

Get ready to explore a new green space in Mumbai — Gorai Mangrove Park! Set to open on May 1, the park features a 740-meter wooden boardwalk and educational exhibits that bring you closer to the wonders of mangrove forests and their ecological importance.

From 42 sq km in 2005, the mangrove forest cover has increased to 66sq km in 2017, all thanks to her continuous efforts to save the city's green soldiers!

One of the simplest and most cost-effective measures to protect mangroves, these natural barriers also help absorb carbon emissions from vehicles, thereby reducing air pollution in the zone!
