Conservation
On July 30, Niranjan led a team of four
people from Satosha in a programme to clear plastic waste littered in the forest
adjoining the village. This area is frequently used by wildlife from the Tiger Reserve.
The plastic/polythene bags pose a threat to animals as they sometimes eat the
bags. The litter was collected and stored in a gunny bag for disposal.
