About the Event

A Panel Discussion on the wildlife that resides within the city with leading environmental and wildlife activists and conservationists


“In nature, nothing exists alone” – Rachel Carson


Mumbai is India’s richest city and home to a human population of around 20 million, but it also is home to the biggest national park inside a city – the Sanjay Gandhi national park, which is the size of 30 Central Parks! The park is home to more than 1,000 species of plants and animals, most significantly, leopards.


The description of the discussion is as below:


NGMA Mumbai, Ministry of Culture, Government of India and Avid Learning present Multipolis Mumbai: Wildlife and the City. Join our panel of experts, conservationists, naturalists and wildlife watchdogs to discuss the histories, patterns and attendant challenges related to wildlife in an urban context.


Environmental Activist and Writer, Founding Editor of Sanctuary Asia Bittu Sahgal, Wildlife conservationist and co-founder of Wildlife SOS Kartick Satyanarayan, Conservationist, Large Carnivore Biologist and President of Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) Dr. Anish Andheria will be in conversation with Creative Editor at Arré Karanjeet Kaur.


These experts will weigh-in on issues like importance of bio-diversity in an urban context, ways to reduce human-animal conflict in urban areas and the role of technology in the conservation of wildlife in an urban environment. They will also discuss Urban Evolution, preservation of habitats, and encroachment, how species are evolving to survive in cities and, alas, extinction. How do aspects of the city like human density, architecture, pollution, resource dispersion and infrastructure systems affect and evolve its animal populations? What are the avenues and initiatives through which urban residents can engage with, learn more about and aid animal life?


This discussion is part of our Multipolis Mumbai series, which decodes the past while looking to the future and finding novel ways of engaging, interacting with and re-energizing the city we love!


This series was begun and had a successful run in 2012 and we revived it in June 2017. In the second iteration, we seek to go deeper and unearth more fascinating nuggets about our ever-surprising Mumbai! We've already had panels on the re-haul of our historic precincts, the role of the business families of Bombay, Art Deco in the City and looking at the city through a child's eyes. More recently, we’ve had a discussion around how art institutions and practitioners in the city are harnessing the power of tech, and how poets and women writers engage with and write about the city. We've also recently held a workshop that looked more closely at celebrated classical architecture (namely Indo Saracenic and Victorian Gothic) of one of our oldest areas. We now turn our attention to the non-human residents that share our city.
