On 18th May, 2014 WWF-India , Maharashtra State Office organised a trail at TIFR colony campus, Colaba. About 20 participants including WWF-India supporters, nature club members, TIFR staff and other nature lovers attended the trail. We were delighted to see the tremendous variety of biodiversity that it holds. This includes magnificent trees such as shami, banyan, kailaspaati etc; birds suchas kites, owlets etc. We are thankful to PRO Mr. Kishore Menon and the staff members who joined us for the trail and shared the valuable information and their observation on the campus biodiversity.
