The theme for this year’s celebration is ‘Forests: Nature at your service’.To mark this historic event, Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), in collaboration with Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has organised a 3-day long special exhibition from June 2 to June 4.
The themes included in the exhibition are urban biodiversity, air, water and noise pollution, green zones of Mumbai, extinct wildlife of Mumbai, citizens Initiatives, mangroves and death of Mumbai’s seashore. The exhibition will be organised at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and Churchgate railway stations.
