Satara

Satara, the capital of erstwhile Maratha kingdom is bestowed with natural beauty of the Sahyadri ranges and the rock outcrop ecosystems consisting of many endemic and rare species.

In 2018, BEAG’s conservation of plateau eco systems extended beyond M&P into Satara District with 3 plateau clusters being declared as Conservation Zones under the MRTP Act, 1966. A Conservation Management Plan was submitted to the Regional Planning Board which formed the basis of rules and regulations for governing the Zone.

BEAG continues to be engaged with the heritage of the Satara Town, quarrying and unauthorised constructions.
