Premsagar Mestri

Answer 1

The following is a notable Maharashtrian who has worked in the field of environmental protection.

Premsagar Mestri:

1. Two species of vultures, 'Long-billed Vultures' and 'White back Vultures' are observed in the region around Raigad. Premsagar Mestri and his associates are working for increasing their number and to make available safe food for them through the 'Society for Eco-Endangered Species Conservation and Protection-SEESCAP', a non-government organization.
2. Painkillers given to animals have proved to be toxic for vultures. The number of vultures is rapidly decreasing in India. Vultures are scavengers in nature.
3. Besides, the dearth of trees with adequate height, and scarcity of food, have also caused a decrease in the vulture population. People working for Premsagar Mestri and SEESCAP are gradually getting success in changing these circumstances.

Premsagar is therefore active in environmental work.
