Adyar Poonga, an eco-park proposed in the Adyar Creek area, is being developed to cover the creek's entire expanse of 358 acres, next to Ambedkar Memorial off Greenways Road, Adyar, Chennai. Work also started on the ecological restoration project at the Adyar Poonga site. Tamil Nadu, which plans to take up ecological restoration of Adyar Estuary in Chennai, formed Adyar Poonga Trust in October 2006. A world-class ecological park (Adyar Poonga) would be established in Adyar Creek area measuring 58 acres in phase-I.
The Ecological Restoration Plan will cover the extent of 358 acres, for which the state has sanctioned Rs 100 crore. After extensive studies and stakeholder consultations, a draft plan is ready. These are some of the pictures taken at Adyar Poonga - maybe when we have the Adyar creek ready we will get to take lot more pictures and a better tomorrow for the coming genaration.
