Construction on Pallikaranai marshland would destroy its ecosystem: Sowmiya Anbumani
Environmental activist Sowmiya Anbumani warned that proposed construction on the Pallikaranai marshland in Tamil Nadu threatens to eradicate the area’s natural habitat, including its fish populations, tree cover and aquatic vegetation. She told reporters that the development would irreversibly damage the wetland’s biodiversity and ecological balance, urging authorities to reconsider the project. She emphasized that the loss would affect local climate regulation and flood control.
