In pictures: Madiwala Kere Habba

The Madiwala Kere Habba on April 11th truly was a celebration of the abundance in nature. In case you missed it, here's a peek into all that transpired.

Madiwala Kere played host to the third Lake Day celebrations on Saturday April 11th. It was organised by Namma Bengaluru Foundation in association with Snehadhara Foundation, BB76 and United Way.

The event encouraged people to connect with their surroundings, explore and participate in preserving it, and become a stakeholder in keeping it alive. With talks on biodiversity and sustainable living, demos on organic gardening and water testing, bird watching, sketching, cycling, music and dance, it truly was a day to celebrate the abundance in nature.

Here’s a glimpse of the Lake Day celebrations at Madiwala in pictures.

Dancing, a great tool to socialise! A community dance that was true to its name; no one was spared.

A stall where one could get water tested!

A perfect outing for the grandparent-grandchild duo; a common sight during summer vacations.

A photographer ready to go the edge of the earth to get the perfect picture, quite literally.

The lake’s beauty is beyond compare and we must protect it – this is all that the folks at the habba were trying to say.

Examining the heat island effect in densely built-up Garudachar Palya ward in Whitefield’s IT Hub, which also has limited tree cover.

This mismatch has led to issues like narrow village lanes becoming crowded with traffic, as they’re now used as shortcuts to bypass main roads. Looking at population growth, between 2011 and 2024, the ward has seen an estimated increase of 62.24%. This rapid growth adds to the existing strain on infrastructure. Ward no…

Delhi’s Dwarka Forest has seen brazen destruction thanks to a railway redevelopment project. A recent SC stay order has raised hopes.

According to a recent World Bank report, India presently accounts for a meagre 1.8% of the global forest cover.
