Sharing Space: People and Wildlife in Bengaluru’s Home Gardens – The Nature of Cities
2/ The average apartment dweller in Bengaluru recognises 5 bird species. The home gardeners in this study reported over 20. These gardens aren't hobbies. They're wildlife refuges — the last green stepping stones in an increasingly concrete city.

4/ Varsha Bhaskaran calls it *principled tolerance* — coexistence rooted not in policy but in culture, memory, and the long act of paying attention. Most conservation assumes people need to be taught to care. This study suggests many already do. What's needed isn't persuasion. It's support.
3/ Bengaluru is home to 4 of India's most venomous snake species. When residents found a cobra in the garden, most didn't call a snake catcher. They warned their neighbours and gave the snake time to move on. One simply avoided that part of the garden for a few days.
