“…that eat the existing species of fish which would have consumed mosquito larvae. 18 In a further twist to the unravelling ecologies of the Pallikaranai wetlands, it appears that many of the invasive fish species are more tolerant than native species of environmental toxins released by the burning of refuse or the discharge of waste water into the marshlands (see Devarajan et al, 2021).…”

The city of Chennai in southern India lies directly under one of the most significant global flyways for migratory birds. Over the last forty years, however, this intricate regional topography of lakes and watercourses that supports millions of birds and other organisms has been drastically reduced. I develop the idea of “ecological decay” in relation to the Pallikaranai wetlands in southern Chennai to explore the multiple socio-ecological dynamics behind declining levels of biodiversity. I note how the colonial simplification of the landscape has been entrained within an accelerated impetus towards regional capitalist urbanization. Thus far, however, the question of biodiversity in Chennai has been largely framed through the analytical lens of European modernity. I consider in particular whether a modified urban political ecology framework might provide distinctive insights into the particularities of biodiversity decline in an Indian context.
