Enraged by the continued assault on flamingo habitats, environmental activists held a silent march between the NRI and DPS wetlands at Nerul in Navi Mumbai on Saturday to mark the UN-driven World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD).

Carrying banners reading #SaveFlamingoLakes and placards highlighting the need to protect wetlands for both migratory birds and the city’s flood-control system, the activists drew the attention of motorists, residents, and curious onlookers.
