Raigad Forest Department Launches 'Zero Forest Fire Campaign 2025' in Roha
The forest rangers in a place called Raigad are starting a new plan to stop forest fires.
Every year, fires burn down the trees and grass that animals need to eat.
This makes animals like monkeys leave the forest and look for food near people's homes.
To fix this, the rangers are talking to villagers to teach them how to be careful and stop fires from starting.
They are also working with local groups to help protect the homes of the animals.
Raigad Forest Department has launched the 'Zero Forest Fire Campaign 2025' in Roha.
The campaign aims to raise awareness and prevent summer forest fires.
Wildfires have led to the loss of vital forest cover and food sources for wildlife.
This has forced animals to migrate into human settlements, causing ecological concerns.
The department is urging community participation and organizing meetings to educate residents on fire prevention measures.
