Run for a cause which hopes to put the spotlight on the importance of mangroves for Mumbai's survival

The organisation hosts a mangrove run annually
Team Greenaiders brings back the third edition of Mangroves Matter, one of their four annual events that are targeted at raising awareness on environmental issues. The idea behind the mangrove run is "to make citizens of coastal cities like Mumbai aware that mangroves aren't just bushes but they play a very important role in the whole ecosystem," says Paresh Pimpale from the organising team. "Mangrove forests play an important role in saving the land from the rising tides of the sea and protecting the sea from the pollution of the land," he adds.
