Mangroves protect Mumbai from tsunamis and cyclones
Tech away
Join environmentalist Laxmikant Deshpande of Sanjay Gandhi National Park’s Nature Information Centre today, which is International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, as he talks about how technology can be used to protect mangroves better. Tejashree Joshi, head of environment and sustainability at Godrej and Boyce (G&B), which is organising the event, shares how G&B has designed an app called Mangroves, a first of its kind in Asia, that provides scientific information about different species of flora and fauna that one can find among mangroves. “Plus, drones are used to look for pest attacks and infections, and we use geo-tagging to check the height of trees,” Joshi adds.
