Five-century-old tree situated in Parambikulam reserve
Efforts are on to conserve the legendary Kannimara Teak of Parambikulam Tiger Reserve for the generations to come.
The Parambikulam Tiger Conservation Foundation, which manages the tiger reserve, has planned a collaborative move with the Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI) in its conservation.
Kannimara Teak, one of the largest and oldest living teak trees in the world that withstood many a nature’s fury, will be subjected to a thorough examination in a non-destructive way.
Bengaluru saw one of its worst water crises in 2024 with ground water drying up and several parts of the city scrambling for water. With instances like BWSSB supplying treated wastewater to the construction industry, apartments being permitted to sell water from their STPs to the department, and lakes in parts of Bengaluru and neighbouring districts being filled with water from the 33 STP plants in the city, recycling of water became an important topic of conversation during this period.
