Conservation
Our team organised
5 community assistance programs on July 16, 17, 18, 24 and 26 to clear areas around hand pumps at Bhajepar,
Kodebarra, Umarzari, Chorkhamara and Wadegaon. Unemployed young villagers from Mangezari
participated in all programmes which were led by Mukund and Jivraj. 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 on day and night patrols on
four occasions during the month. Details are given in the table above. 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 5 anti-plastic programmes to clean
polythene/plastic litter from villages. The programmes were organized on July, 16,
17, 18, 24 and 26, at Bhajepar, Kodebarra, Umarzari, Chorkhamara and Wadegaon
villages respectively.
Mukund 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.
On July 29, Global Tiger Day, we organised a programme at
Zilla Parishad Primary School (ZPPS), Mangezari to promote awareness about
tiger conservation. The programme included a lecture and film show followed by
a rally through the village. Forest Guards Mukesh Mehar, Sarpanch Mr. Thakre,
ex-sarpanch Ms. Anusayabai Kumbhare, village eco-development committee (VEDC)
President Khemraj Salam and four other VEDC members, 93 students, 6 teachers,
villagers, staff of Satpuda Foundation and volunteers were present.
