Mrs Maneka Gandhi, MP, Chairperson, PfA<\/strong>\u00a0who also grew up in Bangalore said, \u201cDid you know this Wildlife Hospital alone has rescued 61 slender loris?. Every city needs a wildlife rescue centre and India\u2019s glory is that we still have wildlife. Every single animal brings to us life, we don\u2019t give it life. If you remove them, you will lose all your trees, you will lose all your flowers and you will lose your biodiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mrs Alpana Bhartia, Founder Trustee, PfA Bangalore<\/strong>\u00a0said, \u201cI believe this event is the beginning of good engagement with the Corporate world of Bangalore. We need to focus on the wider viewpoint of what is Bangalore\u2019s wildlife and why we all need to work together and support each other\u2019s efforts and collaborate in a way only Bangalore can. We all can proudly call Bangalore a city for wildlife and together reinstate\u00a0\u00a0our title of city of lakes and sacred green spaces.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
