    Let’s go wilding: Kalina's new biodiversity hub aims to reunite residents with nature

    A new biodiversity hub in Kalina employs scientific research to model an urban forest that will certainly pique your senses To attract a multitude of butterflies, the butterfly garden houses jatropha, ixora, haldi kunku, dingala, lemon and koranti plants We know Kalina as a suburban area for migrants seeking modest dwellings.

    But neither its churches nor its gullies direct us to a past of paddy fields, rivulets, and foxes — kolhe [Marathi for fox] that’s said to have lent the place its name.

    These pollinators are essential for sustaining life.

    We spotted galphimia, whose symmetric yellow bloom is considered visually calming in neuroscience.

    The fountain that has an aesthetic value acts as an aerator.
