The native landscape of Kolkata before urbanization was characterized by swamps, ponds and wetlands as it is located on the flood plains of the river Hooghly. These aquatic and semi-aquatic ecological systems now occur as patches and fragment throughout the city and consist of essential wetland flora and fauna including IUCN Red List protected Fishing Cats and Marsh Mongooses.
