This World Environment Day, Marriott Executive Apartments Navi Mumbai organises a cleanup and plantation initiative at the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary, one of Asia’s largest mangrove patches spanning 26 kilometres.

The area hosts significant flamingo populations and various migratory bird species. Collaborating with the Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Centre, Marriott Executive Apartments Navi Mumbai planted 258 saplings and cleaned the wetlands to preserve this distinctive ecosystem, combat climate change, and raise awareness about environmental conservation.

Speaking on this occasion, Saurabh Chowdhury, General Manager of Marriott Executive Apartments Navi Mumbai, said, “We are honoured to play an active role in fostering awareness and supporting environmental sustainability. Recognising the significance of flamingos in Navi Mumbai, we partnered with the Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Centre in Airoli, which is an initiative of the Mangrove Foundation of Maharashtra, for a clean-up and plantation drive, aiming to nurture a welcoming habitat for these majestic birds. The initiative reiterated the importance of conserving mangroves.”

The efforts proved fruitful in creating awareness about the importance of mangrove ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity conservation, and empowering people with useful methods to restore their habitat.
