About us

Sahyadri Nisarga Mitra was born when a few likeminded people wanted to do more than sigh away their pangs of conscience about the rampant abuse of nature. The day was 12th Feb. 1992. Out of the brain storming of these individuals, the aim to "Broaden the vision of nature conservation" was taken up as the mission of this Organisation.

Indian Swiftlets on Vengurla Rocks is one of the commendable projects. A timely action by the SNM team and alerting the forest department resulted into arresting of smugglers of Indian Swiftlet's nests within a week's time. Subsequent observations revealed increased number of nesting in this area.
