Aravalli Bio Diversity Park

The Aravalli Biodiversity Park has, in its short life, come to be regarded as a birdwatching haven. At least 183 species have been sighted here since birders first started exploring the area, shortly after the restoration of the park started in 2010. Birders have termed this species richness to be “extremely significant,” given that the number of species spotted makes up a large part of the total 420-odd bird species recorded across the National Capital Region. A study by Misha Bansal, project fellow at the Centre for Ecology Development and Research (CEDAR), explains the significance and establishes, through empirical evidence, what environmentalists have reverently maintained, that efforts to revive the Aravalli Biodiversity Park are on the right track.
