According to the Deputy Conservator of Forest (DCF), Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), BMC is looking to follow Rajkot’s Municipal Corporation’s (RMC) method to create a dense forest on these sites that have recently undergone bio-mining.
While Bengaluru got its first BMC in 2009, the committee has not been active since 2019 and thus has failed to perform its primary duty of updating the city’s People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR). The document was last prepared and updated in 2010.
Notably, while Bengaluru formulated its first BMC in 2009, the committee formed by BBMP has not been active for more than three years now. It has thus failed to perform its primary duty of updating Bengaluru’s People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR), a repository of traditional knowledge and the availability of local biological resources. The register was last prepared and updated in 2010 and is thus outdated.
