Kaikondrahalli Lake, located at Sarjapur Main Road, Bengaluru megacity, is now fenced, restored and rejuvenated into a ‘nature park’ of urban Bengaluru. It spreads over an area of 48 acres with around 2 km stretch encircling the lake perimeters. Presently the lake with its island offers an important habitat for resident and migratory birds of about 70 species. The lake is a glaring example of publicgovernment partnership, glorifying the effort of the Greater Bengaluru Administrative Authority, viz., Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), citizens and green initiatives of this megacity.

Abstract


Kaikondrahalli Lake, located at Sarjapur Main Road, Bengaluru megacity, is now fenced, restored and rejuvenated into a ‘nature park’ of urban Bengaluru. It spreads over an area of 48 acres with around 2 km stretch encircling the lake perimeters. Presently the lake with its island offers an important habitat for resident and migratory birds of about 70 species. The lake is a glaring example of publicgovernment partnership, glorifying the effort of the Greater Bengaluru Administrative Authority, viz., Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), citizens and green initiatives of this megacity.
