Goa: At Mopa, artificial bird nests to make up for habitat loss
The Union environment ministry’s Regional Empowered Committee (REC), Bengaluru, has permitted diversion of another 6.8 hectares of forest area for the Mopa international airport project at Pernem. The REC has, however, said that the user agency will have to develop artificial nesting areas for birds in the region at the agency’s cost.
