As part of the World Environment Day celebrations, the Chennai District Environmental Information Dissemination Centre (EIDC) of the Department of Environment organised a ‘Wild Walk’ at Guindy National Park on Sunday.
The theme and slogan of this year’s celebrations was ‘zero tolerance for illegal wildlife trade,’ and ‘go wild for life.’ Around 30 people took part in the walk, led by G. Thangaraj, district coordinator, National Green Corps, and EIDC. K. Baskar, biologist, initiated the walk and spoke to the participants about the birds and animals in the park.
The park has a dry evergreen scrub and thorn forest, grasslands and waterbodies with over 350 species of plants, including shrubs, climbers, herbs and grasses and over 24 varieties of trees, including the sugar apple, wood apple, and neem. At the end of the walk, the participants were gifted saplings by ‘Will-age,’ an NGO.
