The first butterfly park in Coimbatore city is getting ready at Vellalore tank, a semi-urban waterbody in the Noyyal river system that is home to a variety of avifauna and insects.
The butterfly park project, which commenced in April this year, has successfully completed its phase one construction.
Initiated by the Kovai Kulangal Padhukappu Amaippu (KKPA), the butterfly park is soon to be opened to the public, right after the completion of the phase two work. The park, coming up on the tank bund in a patch of 50 metre width and 300 metre length, will serve as a testament of a positive human-environment interaction, according to KKPA.
