| The Bombay
Natural History Society was founded in 1883 for the
purpose of exchanging notes and observations on natural
history and exhibiting interesting specimens. Today it is
the largest non-governmental organisation (NGO) in the
subcontinent engaged in the conservation of nature and
natural resources, education and research in natural
history, with members in over 30 countries. The Society's
guiding principle has always been that conservation must
be based on scientific research-a tradition exemplified
by its late president, Dr. Salim Ali. |
