Pallikaranai is one of Chennai's last big natural sponges. Kazhuveli, the floodplain that once fed paddy fields, now has buildings pressing all around it. Every time Chennai floods, I think of marshes like this. Protect what's left. #Chennai #Wetlands MoEF&CC (@moefcc) Today's #RamsarSpotlight takes us to Pallikaranai Marsh Reserve Forest in Tamil Nadu. Locally known as ‘kazhuveli’, the Tamil word refers to a floodplain or waterlogged area. Historically, these wetlands supported irrigation and extensive paddy cultivation across South Chennai. A reminder of the landscape beneath the city. #WetlandsofIndia — https://nitter.kareem.one/moefcc/status/2109299482185834609#m
