BNHS Launches Native Fish and Plant Restoration at Ujani Wetland
The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has initiated a large-scale restoration project at Ujani Wetland in Bhigwan, releasing 4.5 million native fish fingerlings and over 21,000 aquatic plants to revive biodiversity. The effort aims to restore native species, including the Deccan Mahseer, which had nearly vanished due to pollution, invasive species, and unregulated fishing. Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne inaugurated the program, emphasizing its importance for ecological balance and local livelihoods. BNHS's conservation breeding sourced broodstock from Western Ghats rivers to support this ecological recovery.
