DPS Flamingo Lake

Published on 16 Oct 2025

• The Maharashtra State Wildlife Board has declared the 30-acre DPS Flamingo Lake as a Conservation Reserve.

• This makes it the first wetland connected to the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary (TCFS) to receive such protection.

• The 30-acre lake serves as a critical resting and feeding ground for flamingos that migrate from TCFS during high tide.

• The Thane Creek falls under the Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) but is fed by numerous freshwater sources, making the water brackish.
