New Conserver Honoured For Wildlife Conservation

The New Conserver organisation from Jalgaon district has been honoured by The Book of Indian Records for its outstanding contribution to wildlife conservation, environmental protection, biodiversity research, and nature awareness.

The recognition comes after more than three decades of dedicated work in the field of conservation. For the past 31 years, New Conserver has been actively involved in protecting forests, wildlife, and biodiversity across the country.

The organisation has led campaigns against illegal tree felling in the Satpura mountain ranges, Yawal Wildlife Sanctuary, and Gautala Autramghat Wildlife Sanctuary, while also working towards the conservation and protection of wildlife and natural habitats.

Over the last two decades, the organisation has carried out extensive biodiversity studies at several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries across India. Its members have documented flora and fauna through field research and published their findings in books to create awareness among citizens.

The research covered several protected areas, including Manas National Park in Assam, Kanha Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Navegaon-Nagzira Tiger Reserve, Melghat Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, and Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.

The organisation was recognised by The Book of Indian Records for creating a unique national record by simultaneously publishing five comprehensive coffee-table books dedicated to the biodiversity of a single national park—Manas National Park in Assam.

The five books published by the organisation are: Mammals of Manas National Park, Birds of Manas National Park, Flora of Manas National Park, Reptiles, Amphibians and Fishes of Manas National Park, and Insects & Spiders of Manas National Park.

The office-bearers and contributors associated with the project were felicitated with certificates and medals during a programme held in Jalgaon. Those honoured included Abhay Ujagare, Archana Ujagare, Shailendra Mahajan, Shrutika Mahajan, Ashlesha Ujagare, and Apoorva Ujagare.

A special programme was organised on Sunday, July 26, at Paryavaran Shala to introduce the books to environmental enthusiasts and celebrate the organisation's achievement. The event was attended by environmentalists, researchers, wildlife experts, and conservationists.

The achievement of New Conserver is a significant milestone in the field of wildlife conservation and environmental protection in India. It highlights the importance of dedicated efforts towards protecting the country's biodiversity and natural habitats.

The recognition by The Book of Indian Records is a testament to the organisation's hard work and commitment to creating awareness about the importance of conservation. It is expected to inspire others to join the cause and work towards protecting India's rich biodiversity.

In conclusion, the honour bestowed upon New Conserver is a well-deserved recognition of its outstanding contribution to wildlife conservation and environmental protection. The organisation's work serves as a model for others to follow and its achievement is a significant step towards creating a better future for India's wildlife and natural habitats.
