Mumbai’s interactive biodiversity a click away

Map released by a citizens’ collective documents 17 species of flora and 78 species of fauna, green spaces, indigenous communities

After launching the city’s first static biodiversity map last year, Ministry of Mumbai’s Magic (MMM) has come up with a new interactive map which documents different species with clickable features that present details of the species, their habitats, and their conservation status. MMM is a platform to unite citizens and showcase their collective action, mobilising them to draw the attention of the local government to prioritise protection of Mumbai’s biodiversity hotspots, green spaces, and their inhabitants.
