SUMMARY:Nature in the City: thinking 'post' ecologies in Delhi - Suresh Ba
 bu Ambedkar University Delhi

DESCRIPTION:In the context of urban ecology\, it has become imperative to 
 think of the entanglements of nature with access and power\, and of exclus
 ion and accumulation. The conservation science does not seem certain anymo
 re of what needs to be conserved and at whose cost in the cities. The bit 
 of nature that exists\, is hard to classify as wild\, domesticated\, horti
 cultural or feral. The struggle of understanding nature in the city is rid
 dled with the sheer variety of natures and the seemingly inextricable knot
 ted-ness\, in the human -non -human continuum extending into the biophysic
 al and beyond. The comfort of doing conventional ecology\, with a certaint
 y that what we measure is nature\, and urban nature can be understood with
  familiar toolkits is long gone. Perhaps a new framework for doing ecology
  in the urban is emerging\, through these struggles and new optics. This d
 iscussion attempts to foreground the contested ecology of natural spaces a
 nd creatures in the context of Delhi\, for comments and inputs.\n
