Mumbai: Thanekars see red over depleting green cover
People living in Thane and green activists are worried over the loss of green spaces in the city. Volunteers and locals joined hands to highlight the importance of green covers and wetlands on the occasion of World Wetlands day on February 2.
The volunteers from Muse Foundation (an NGO) revealed the loss of green cover along Kolshet Creek, which sees the Smart City s Project of Waterfront Development. After a thorough comparison of satellite images from 2003 to 2020, it has been revealed that a massive area of 2.87 hectare has vanished over the years. The very location is now seeing the Waterfront Development Project (WDP) coming up, said Nishant Bangera, founder of Muse foundation, Thane.
