Planted Avicennia marina, a species of Mangrove, in the Jakhau Mangrove Nursery in Kutch, Gujarat.

Under the MISHTI (Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats & Tangible Incomes) programme initiated by PM Shri @narendramodi ji, Kutch is undertaking large-scale mangrove restoration, scientific nursery development and livelihood initiatives. Against a cumulative plantation target of 29,250 hectares for 2023–24 to 2026–27, mangrove plantation has been completed over 27,652 hectares, including 12,450 hectares in the Kori Creek area.

Approximately 3.49 lakh mangrove seedlings have been raised at the Jakhau Mangrove Nursery.

Interacted with subject experts to understand the challenges and technological and nature-based solutions to address the same.

Kutch is developing a comprehensive model of mangrove conservation by combining large-scale plantation, nurseries, biodiversity conservation, innovative tidal technology, renewable energy, community participation and sustainable livelihoods.

Jakhau Mangrove Nursery is a significant example of technology-driven and community-oriented mangrove restoration in Gujarat.

During my visit to the Great Indian Bustard Habitat in Naliya, Kutch, interacted with representatives of the Jat Sumra and Darbar communities in 'Khatala Sabha' to garner their support in the conservation efforts of the Great Indian Bustard.

Under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, India has been laying emphasis on community-led stewardship for environmental protection and species conservation. The local pastoralist and agricultural groups in Kutch are key to ensuring the success of GIB conservation.

Later, flagged off 33 new patrolling and rescue vehicles for forest and wildlife conservation efforts which will be used in various divisions under the Kutch Forest Circle for forest protection, forest development, wildlife protection, field patrolling, monitoring, and quick response activities.

Visited the Great Indian Bustard Habitat in Naliya, Kutch today. Reviewed the ongoing efforts for providing maximum protection to the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) with special focus on comprehensive conservation and habitat-management measures in the GIB landscape of Kutch.

Apart from playing an indispensable role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, GIB serves as a unique cultural symbol of India's arid heritage.

To ensure GIB is protected, India is laying great emphasis on its conservation.

Towards that end, today inaugurated the Soft Release Centre for GIB in the facility. The Soft Release Centre is equipped with infrastructure designed to support the conservation, monitoring and gradual adaptation of GIBs to the natural environment.

The impressive and extensive biodiversity of India is guarded by a dedicated workforce of forest officers. On National Forest Martyrs Day, we remember the fearless heroes who laid down their lives fighting forest fires, smugglers, and poachers to protect our natural wealth.

Trees, wildlife, and rivers aren't just natural resources—they are our life support system. We bow to the supreme sacrifice of our forest officers who gave their today for our sustainable tomorrow.

Addressed the inaugural session of the National Workshop organised on the occasion of International Vulture Awareness Day in Chandigarh, along with Minister Government of Haryana Shri @RaoNarbir.

Birds play an important part in maintaining ecosystems as they control pests, pollinate plants, disperse seeds, and cycle nutrients.

Vultures in particular have been crucial to maintaining ecological balance as ‘cleaning officers’ nature.

Under the eco-sensitive leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, India is laying great emphasis on conservation of our endangered bird species.

Save vultures to secure our ecological future 🦅

Vultures are nature’s own cleanup team—silently keeping ecosystems clean, preventing the spread of disease and maintaining ecological balance.

Under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, the Government of India is taking concerted steps towards vulture conservation and ensuring these magnificent birds soar across our skies once again.

On #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay, let us renew our pledge to protect vultures, restore their habitats and safeguard the delicate balance of our ecosystems.
