Dear All,
The next bioblitz at Puttenahalli Lake, JP Nagar will be conducted on Saturday, 8th July between 9:30 am-11.00 am.
In this version of the program we will get up close with the trees of the lake and find out more than just their names!
What: A bioblitz is a short but intense session in which participants do a biological survey of a particular area and record all the living creatures in that space.
Why: A bioblitz serves two purposes.
Over a time period it allows the surveying of the biodiversity in an
area. This biodiversity can be documented on a citizen-science platform
such as iNaturalist (inaturalist.org)
making this information available to all. Second, a bioblitz is a fun
way of getting people, particularly children interested in nature and
conservation issues. They also learn important skills of observation,
identification and documentation.
How: All you need is an interest in nature and a notebook and pencil to record your observations. A camera is also preferred for documentation but not a requirement. We do a slow walk in a particular area of the lake and record all the living creatures we find. These include mosses, herbs, shrubs, trees, flowers, lichen, insects, birds and animals.
By Whom: The session will be led by Kaustubh Rau, a biologist, a naturalist and a PNLIT volunteer.

Dear All,
We are cancelling our upcoming Bioblitz (July 8th @ 9:30AM) as the biologist Dr. Kaustubh Rau had to go out of town on emergency work and we have not been able to find a suitable person to conduct the session. We will schedule Bioblitz in the near future.
Thank you for your understanding.
