    Firstly this query should go to the Governor’s Office and not CM’s office. However, there is some information on this on the website – http://rajbhavan.maharashtra.gov.in/florafauna/default.htm
    Apparently, the animals and birds there are in a natural forest area. Please go through the link. If you are still not satisfied, do go ahead and file a RTI application by finding out the PIO’s name. This need not be filed anonymously.
