Pallikaranai Marshland (PML), Chennai’s last remaining Ramsar-designated wetland, sustains a complex food web and vital ecosystem services, amid threats from urbanization and waste dumping. This book gives an elaborate insight about the PML area, connected water tanks, stakeholders, encroachments, and assessment of welfare loss due to shrinkage and degradation of wetlands causing displacement of labour from nature-based to industry-based occupations.
