Conservation
Our team organised
3 programmes in November to clean water holes in Compartments 109, 110, 114.
Our team also
organised 7 community assistance programmes in November to clear areas
around hand pumps at Asalpani, Bolunda, Bagadband, Alezari, Umarzari, Mangezari
and Boatola.
Unemployed youths from Mangezari participated in all programmes
which were led by Mukund and Salimkumar. Details of the programmes are given in
the table above.
Water had spilled over while people drew from the hand pumps
and had stagnated, leading to proliferation of mosquitoes and insects. Our
teams cleared the area, removing scum and organic growth and dug canals to
drain away the water.
Our team joined the Forest Department in day and night patrols
on the roads from Mangezari to Kodebarra, Mangezari to Jindatola, Mangezari to Govindtola,
Mangezari to Bagadband and Mangezari to Kodebarra on November 2, 5, 10, 17, 18
and 29.
Besides our staff, volunteers from a youth club at Mangezari
also joined in the patrols. The youth club was set up with our assistance and
is mentored by our Conservation Officer Mukund Dhurve.
During the month, our team organized 7 anti-plastic programmes to clean polythene/plastic litter from villages. The programmes were organized on November 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 15 and 27 at Bodalkasa, Asalpani, Bolunda, Alezari, Chorkhamara, Umarzari and Boatola villages respectively. Mukund, Salimkumar and Jivraj organised the programmes which were attended by villagers and village eco-development committee (VEDC) members. The plastic litter has been kept in our Mangezari office and will be sent to Tiroda for recycling.

The Government of Maharashtra has issued the buffer zone
notification for the Navegaon-Nagzira Tiger Reserve. Following this, doubts
have sprung up in the minds of villagers as to how they will be affected by the
notification. Due to the doubts, some villagers are opposing the notification.
To clear these doubts and misgivings, we organised a total of 5 awareness
programmes during November in 5 villages – Kodelohara, Sodlagondi, Thadezari,
Lendezari, and Umarzari.
On 12th November, we celebrated Dr. Salim Ali day
at Mangezari by organizing a bird spotting programme. Our Conservation Officer
Mukund Dhurve gave information regarding common and migratory birds to the
students who attended the programme.
