Shekhar Mehta Commitment: Invitation to Symposium on Mangroves: Raising Awareness On Mangroves through Rotaractors

“The sea is washing away coastlines because mangroves have gone,” said Mehta. “We are losing our ecosystem. Once mangroves die, our marine system and coastal communities will be lost.” Climate and environmental representatives and experts from more than 20 countries attended the round table and pledged to act alongside Rotary to help save and restore mangroves.

He will be attending the program in person and will share his vision and direction for us Rotarians to redouble our efforts.
We have also invited the Government officers from Maharashtra, Sunderbans, Kutch, and other areas to attend this symposium and share their efforts. Environment minister, Mr. Aditya Thackeray has also been invited and we are hopeful he too will be in attendance.

Our team has been doing a lot of work across the country for the environment with our over 3000 Rotary Clubs with 160,000 members, thousands of young Rotaractors, and other volunteers.
