Dear Sunita and Anumita,
The concept of "Devrai" in the Konkan belt (bio-diversity hot-spots on commons land) can and should be attempted in cities also and not just on larger areas like Ridge and River.
Within Defence Colony there was and is this little park, situated between a DMS booth and a DESU/BSES sub-station, that had remained quite ignored for some time. With the covering up of the storm-water drain (another disaster, as siltation builds up below) the little wild-life that we had appears to have shifted here.
While these are the often seen birds, this spot has seen, suddenly, of late, a fairly large number of common house sparrows returning - they had vanished for the last few years.
This is fyi/g and in case anybody from Down to Earth wants to take a look please?
Best regards / Veeresh Malik
