Has some WILDlife returned to bangalore?

Has some WILDlife returned to bangalore?Due to our growing (mindless) urbansation of bengaluru/bangalore we have cut down majority of the trees, hardlyhave any green patches, except for some at Lalbagh & Cubbon park (last bastion of hope). Earlier every house, especiallyin the locality of Malleshwaram and most other in bengaluru had atleast 1 coconut tree and few others likea jackfruit tree, Champak, lots of croton plants, a bit of bogunvilla, and others. Now toh, all of us (including me)prefer having concrete all over the place so that we can park our 2 wheelers and cars easily. Even those footpathswhich existed earlier with some chota mota shrubs have been replaced by BMP with cobbled stones and gigantic stone bars.Due to all this and much much more urbanisation we have lost most of the birds and animals which earlierinhabited the pensioner's paradise. Me remember clearly seeing those little cute sparrows (remember them) on thepomogranate tree we had in our backyard. Also those nice litte squirrels. Me remember them seeing way back in theearly 80s and hardly seen any of these 2 creatures in the 90s. However, offlate me have seen quite a bit of cute little squirrels, crows, lots of piegons and kites/hawks. Especiallythe last category of birdies.. hawks/kites (me really cant make out.. my knowledge of biology is very poor). Reallywonder why the population of hawks/kites have increased??? Is it due to the fact that we have started generatinghuge waste in the city and these birdies scavenge on them?? or is that we have more butcheries now?? Remains a mysteryto me. Last week saw quite a large number of squirrels (atleast 5-6 of them, this is huge when compared to the 90s).Also from the top fo my office building nearly on a daily basis me see a lots of piegons. These junglee pigeons existedin the city from a long time. Me remember seeing loads of them on TV when they showed places like bombay. Hey, me remember seeing loads of piegons in Trafalgar square at London!!! Other than these birdies, all thats left are those stray dogs which try to sieze the opportunity to bark at you andscare the hell out of you at night (especially after 10 pm). Due our maddening urbanisation we have lost a vastmajority of our lakes. Me remember reading somewhere that at one time (rather upto 1970s) bengaluru had 272 lakes!!!Now what do we have?? Handful of them like Sankey, Ulsoor, Belandur and one or two here and there. No wonder the water table went down.
