Biodiversity @ IIMI
The IIM Indore campus is home to over 1500 program participants and over 150 families of teaching, non-teaching staff. But this 200-acre campus is home to many more also – 50+ bird species (including migrants from Himalayas), 7 snake-species (including 2 of the big four venomous varieties), 100+ plants (ranging to medicinal, decorative, flowering, vegetables, fruits, wild, alien, and invasive), a family of foxes, hares, rabbits, mongoose, cats, bats, and many – many – many species of lizards, chameleons, crabs, butterflies, spiders, flies, moths, and other insects.
No wonder, the campus is fondly called as planet-I by the inmates, for it is a habitat, an ecosystem, a planet, and a home in its own right! Next time you are here, make sure to join us at one of our regular nature-walks to explore the wonderful flora and fauna with the wonderful folks of planet-I by your side!
