This biodiversity documentation will help document all kinds of biodiversity in the lake including, birds, trees, shrubs and plants, spiders, butterflies, and other kinds of biodiversity. Through my experience, this lake also has one of the best islands among the lakes in Bengaluru. The vegetation on the island helps birds rest and roost, which is why it is important to conserve the lake and grow more biodiversity here. We could have done this survey by ourselves, but we want localities to be part of it and appreciate this beautiful lake they have”, Mr. Pachhapur added.
