Many popular and lesser-known bird habitats in Mumbai city are facing a threat from urban infrastructure work, while some have managed to survive despite the urban landscape closing in.
Naturalist and writer-photographer Sunjoy Monga estimates that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region has lost about 75% of habitat landscapes in just over a quarter of a century, with the most shocking and large scale devastation witnessed in just the past 7 years to 8 years in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
