SUMMARY:Demystifying Climate Change ~ by Bangalore International Centre
DESCRIPTION:Every day we hear something unusual. A fire here\, a flood there\, a storm surge\, a cloudburst. These events affect all of us\, our well-being\, our health\, our family\, our work. Their frequency and intensity are increasing. Fortunately\, however\, we no longer lack explanations for these events. We know fossil fuels and the destruction of Nature by us humans are the primary reasons for the alarming acceleration in global warming. \nAwareness is the first step towards change\, and Rajan Mehta’s Backstage Climate is an attempt to make you aware of global warming and climate change in a simple and interesting manner. It demystifies this grim reality—the science\, the politics and the economics behind climate change. It also gives you a glimpse of the policies\, technology and solutions that can help save the planet and ensure our survival. \nGoing slightly beyond mere awareness\, the attempt is to help the reader connect the dots and develop a perspective on the reasons\, impact and solutions that can help us avoid a climate crisis. \nRajan Mehta will be in conversation with Prem Panicker. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience. \nRSVP Here

SUMMARY:Kere Curiosities - Lake walk at Jakkuru ! by Science Gallery Bengaluru
DESCRIPTION:Can a lake be revived socially\, ecologically\, and functionally in a metropolis? Can the community be at the heart of the revival\, with institutions managing the reconstruction? Can treated wastewater become a resource? In this walk around Jakkuru Lake\, explore the questions\, contentions\, and qualms around water bodies in Bengaluru. In tracing the ecology of this lake\, explore the encroachments\, disappearances\, and revivals of lakes in this city. \nLed by Karthikeyan S and Vishwanath Srikantaiah\, this is a walk not to be missed! \nRegister now

SUMMARY:Trees of Bengaluru:from Far and Near ~ by Science Gallery Bengaluru
DESCRIPTION:Bengaluru’s trees are a collection of both native and exotic species which lend the city its botanical diversity. The trees are part of a network of local and global transactions of human minds that work to nurture the cosmopolitan nature of this global city. These trees are part of our social\, cultural\, and emotional landscape. In this lecture\, art historian Suresh Jayaram will unpack the city’s entanglement with the aesthetic curation of trees and their role in giving the city an identity. Join us for an exploration of the trees around us! \nRegister Now

There are some that lay eggs and leave\, while some spend time taking care of the eggs. Having worked in the diverse field of behavioural ecology of frogs\, Gururaja KV\, Ecologist at Srishti Manipal Institute of Art\, Design and Technology\, MAHE will share some stories and insights from my research in the Western Ghats on bioacoustics\, multimodal signalling and breeding behaviour. \n\nVenue SV Narasaiah Auditorium\, IAP\, IISc\,  Bengaluru\nDate 10 September 2024 (Tuesday)\nTime 4.00 pm

SUMMARY:The What\, How and Why of Lake Restoration ~ Azim Premji University
DESCRIPTION:Enough has been written and described about Bengaluru being the city of lakes and tanks. However\, many of these public spaces continue to be in disrepair despite the tremendous amount of work undertaken towards restoring lakes\, highlighting the need for more sustained efforts in this direction. Numerous initiatives have focussed on protecting Bengaluru’s lakes\, but these initiatives are often confronted with a lack of resources\, limited understanding of management policies\, and inadequate ecological considerations of outcomes. \nAs part of their initiatives on climate change and sustainability\, Azim Premji University is organising a one-day workshop on understanding the processes involved in lake restoration. We aim to provide a platform for communities to come together and learn about the importance of lake restoration\, and understand how to engage in restoration efforts. \nEngage in meaningful discussion and dialogue around lake restoration processes\, and learn from the experiences of communities that have succeeded in similar efforts. The workshop will include citizen groups\, ecologists\, researchers and practitioners experienced in the area of restoration of lakes. \nThe workshop will highlight the role of citizens and communities\, the collaboration of stakeholders including governments\, resident associations\, civil society groups\, and donors\, and will detail the various steps in lake restoration\, through conversations with experts involved in this journey for decades. In addition\, the workshop will underline the need for effective communication and dissemination to garner public support. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Rivers & People: A Disconnect in Times of Scarcity ~ by Paani.Earth
DESCRIPTION:Rivers & People: A Disconnect in Times of Scarcity\nCreating a Space to Think\, Ideate and Protect Rivers\nBengaluru\, India’s economic engine\, is a water-starved city. The Cauvery river\, its lifeline\, is drying up and severely polluted\, while the Western Ghats forests\, where its waters originate\, are rapidly degrading. Yet\, the government continues to push for unsound projects like the Mekedatu Dam and Yettinahole Drinking Water project\, further damaging the rivers and forests that sustain us. Amid this\, the city remains disconnected from its rivers\, yet perpetually thirsty. \nThis session will begin with a discussion followed by songs about rivers sung by children and an English adaptation of Komal Swaminathan’s 1980 satirical Tamil play Thaneer Thaneer. Set in a drought-ridden village in Tamil Nadu\, the play follows a stranger who helps the villagers harness water against political and natural challenges\, showing the power of a community deeply connected to its water sources. \nIt promises to be a valuable experience for anyone who cares about the environment\, our rivers\, and the future we are shaping for generations to come. \nRSVP Here \nPaani.Earth\, a citizen-led think tank\, is dedicated to river conservation. The team will share their efforts to protect the rivers that sustain us. Through this session\, they aim to foster a deep understanding and compassion for rivers — crucial for meaningful change. \nSpeakers and Performers \n\n\n\n\n\nNidhi Paliwal- Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nNirmala Gowda – Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nMadhuri Mandava – Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nKhushbu K Birawat – Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nGoodEarth Malhar Community Theatre Group

SUMMARY:Fostering the Urban Jungle ~ Science Gallery Bengaluru
DESCRIPTION:Can Bengaluru be thought of as an urban jungle? It is a city that has grown from a collection of small hamlets to a metropolis within a short time\, and still continues to expand. Renee Borges will explore the natural delights of Bengaluru\, while highlighting the problems that the city’s biodiversity faces. Her talk will offer solutions for these problems so that this human generation and generations to come may foster the network of interactions that have existed in Bengaluru. \nHer talk will offer solutions for these problems so that we\, as the city’s residents\, may continue to encourage the ecological network of interactions that have existed in Bengaluru. \nREGISTER NOW!

SUMMARY:"Children Need Nature" - a national conference ~ by Karma Bhoomi Trust
DESCRIPTION:The Children need Nature conference is being offered to all by Prakriya Green Wisdom School and Bhoomi College with Karma Bhoomi Trust as the organiser. \nAbout the Conference: Many thought leaders and educationists would agree that all of us\, children as well as adults will benefit from connecting to Nature\, living a lifestyle that values Nature more. In addition\, today there is increasing scientific research as well\, that makes it clear that children need Nature for multiple reasons\, not only for their physical and mental health\, but also to improve their cognitive and creative abilities as well as their socio-emotional and personal growth. It is also becoming increasingly clear that it is essential to foster future generations who have a greater connect with Nature and a greater willingness to engage in climate action and practices for sustainability. What the world needs more than ever before are custodians and stewards of nature! It has become an imperative in times of acute climate crisis and nature disconnect. \nThe purpose of this conference is to create a space for parents\, educators and school administrators to share research findings and nature education practices and join a movement to include Nature education sessions in schools to care for the future of our children and the future of our planet. The organisers welcome you to be part of the conference! \nREGISTER NOW
