Chennai, the fourth largest metropolis in India. It has an area of about 1184 Sq.Km. now it has extended to 8878 sq.km. urban spaces in the form of rivers, wetlands, and forests are the backbone of eco-friendly sustainable development. They are highly ecologically sensitive zones. Decaying of these zones largely affects the eco-system. Understanding the dynamics of natural components of the city, helps improves the ecosystem. The ecosystem of Chennai has rivers, wetlands, and forest areas with public green spaces in the form of parks, playgrounds, traffic islands, and open space preservation areas.
understanding the Chennai ecosystem. It comprised of three rivers -Kosathalaiyar, Cooum, and Adyar. And there is Buckingham Canal, which though manmade, plays an equally important role in the water map of the city. Among wetlands, Pallikaranai Marsh and Pulicat Lake are much better known than the other three, Kattupalli Island, Madhavaram & Manali Jheels, Adyar Estuary Creek. THE FORESTS ARE Vandalur, Guindy National Park, and the forests in IIT Madras, Madras Christian College, and Theosophical Society, are commonly known.
"Out of sight is out of mind" _knowing more about the urban ecosystem helps to conserve it.
The ecosystem of our city has gradually degraded over the years to a point where it has now reached alarming levels. The damage to the ecosystem has been largely due to misgovernance and feeble civic engagement by its citizens.
A city that can't preserve its natural heritage can hardly hope to preserve its man-made heritage. If we focus on sewage water management, prevention of encroachment, and maintenance of our water resources, we can perhaps still reverse the damage before it is too late.
