#UnconcreteJungle - The wild side of Mumbai by Bittu Sahgal

Did you know that within Mumbai’s sprawling concrete jungle thrives a diverse biodiversity? Did your also know around 1/6th of the city’s surface area is actually forested? From the magnificent Sanjay Gandhi National Park to the mangrove forests on the coasts which are rich with marine life, Mumbai has several beautiful examples of urban wildernesses. On our Online Talk #UnconcreteJungle, Bittu Sahgal, editor of Sanctuary Asia, takes us on a journey of these wilds and introduces us to the other residents with whom we share our city.

About the speaker:
Bittu Sahgal is the founder of the Sanctuary Nature Foundation and the founder-editor of Sanctuary Asia and Sanctuary Cub. He has spent over four decades writing about and calling attention to conservation issues in books, magazines and newspapers in both English and regional languages. He has also produced 30 wildlife documentaries, and led national and international environmental campaigns across media platforms, including social media.
