Natural resources are under extreme pressure due to the burgeoning human population and rapid urbanisation across the world. Many studies show that increase in the ecological footprint from the changing consumption behaviour, particularly of those residing in cities, continues to negatively impact the environment.
Urbanisation in India is occurring at a rate that is faster compared to many other parts of the developing world. The Planning Commission of the Government of India estimates that about 40 per cent of the country’s population will be residing in urban areas by 2030.
The present report attempts to understand the impact of urbanisation on biodiversity based on the study of two Indian cities—Coimbatore and Kolkata, which are located in important, yet different bio-diverse regions.
