Summary:
Though separated from the Pallikaranai marsh by an IT-SEZ and a busy road, the Perumbakkam wetland is considered a part of it. These elements enhance bird life. The birds are found through the year, and prefer to stay on dry ground in the middle of a wetland. Mounds have been created and trees planted on a section of the marsh found right behind the IT-SEZ in Sholinganallur. When the water levels in a wetland go up, submerging the mounds, they will shift home – a case here for taller mounds..
