Creekside Neighbours: The Golden Jackals of Mumbai
The Creekside Neighbour: ‘The Golden Jackal’ is a short film that unveils the hidden world of the golden jackal, a resilient predator thriving in the mangrove forests of the Mumbai metropolitan region. Based on the research findings of the Mumbai Jackal Project, this film showcases the collaborative efforts of the Wildlife Conservation Society-India and the Mangrove Foundation. Through striking visuals and insightful commentary, the documentary explores the golden jackal's survival in the urban wilderness-navigating threats and coexisting with humans. It also chronicles the challenges faced by researchers as they contended with tides, muck, and mosquitoes to uncover the secrets of this elusive predator. Along the way, the film offers a poignant reminder of Mumbai’s rich yet often overlooked biodiversity, emphasizing the urgent need to protect the city’s vulnerable wetlands.

    But unfortunately, very few people care about such unique urban wildlife. And corrupt politicians and builders want to wipe out the last few remaining green spaces around Mumbai. And mangroves are getting dumped with garbage by illegal encroachers at alarming rate. Another problem is cat and dog lovers and their terrible feeding habits which have highly increased the population of cats and dogs which are a threat to the creatures living in the wild patches.

I still remember the stories my grandma told me as a kid about jackals roaming around their home in Manori and Gorai. I was shocked to see a leopard in those mangroves! Thats absolutely bonkers! I hope we can save the mangroves before it’s too late.
