Diminishing habitats and disappearing greenery
may be spelling doom for bird species in India
The total number of birds found during the Race conducted on February 14 was 212, the lowest since the Race began. Veteran ornithologist and naturalist Sunjoy Monga, who tallied the numbers, said arriving at 212 itself was not without considerable effort.
The 250 participants, split into 52 teams and a special team of 27 fanned across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region from Kalyan - Murbad to the lower reaches of the Sahyadri hills in the east along the Karjat - Murbad - Malshej stretch, were delighted to sight “rarities”.
