Gujarat has declared the inland mangrove site at Guneri village in Kutch district as its first-ever Biodiversity Heritage Site (BHS). Located in Lakhpat taluka, about 450 km from Ahmedabad, this rare mangrove ecosystem defies conventional ecological norms, making it a fascinating discovery for nature lovers and conservationists alike. Situated 45 km from the Arabian Sea, Guneri’s mangroves thrive in an environment untouched by tidal forces, a unique feature for this type of ecosystem.
Guneri’s inland mangroves are one of only eight such sites globally, underscoring their significance. This BHS designation will not only protect this unique ecosystem but also position Kutch as a key area for ecological research and eco-tourism, balancing conservation with community development.
