Today we are in conversation with Dr. Faiyaz Ahmad Khudsar a passionate scientist who has led an amazing team to restore acres of sodic land into flourishing bio diverse forest within Delhi-NCR.
This is a feat that noone has been able to accomplish in the whole world and as I promised, here are the details of all parks:1) The Yamuna Biodiversity Park (YBP) located near the Wazirabad village, on the banks of Yamuna River, is one of the best nature reserves in Delhi. It is spread across 457 acres.
2) Aravalli Biodiversity Park, for a really long time, has been working towards multiplying the number of medicinal plants which are otherwise threatened. There are more than 240 species of medicinal plants inside the park.
3) Neela Hauz Biodiversity Park: The transformation that Neela Hauz received is nothing short of a miracle. Looking at the giant garbage dumb, who would have thought that this was, once upon a time, a lake where all the excess water from the neighbouring forest was collected, and eventually supplied drinking water to a large population in South Delhi?
4) Tilpath Valley Biodiversity Park: The park is spread over an area of 69.56 ha on the Southern Ridge, and meets the Aravalli ranges of Haryana. The park is connected with Asola-Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary and Aravallis in Haryana.
5) Kamla Nehru Ridge is also known as the Northern Ridge. It is spread across a total area of 122.00 ha. It is located near Delhi University's north Campus.
6) Tughlaqabad Biodiversity Park: The park has four major wetlands areas that clean up the groundwater. The forest in and around Tughlaqabad Biodiversity Park plays an important role in conserving the underground water as well as the native plants and animal species.
7) Kalindi Biodiversity Park: The park was added to the list in 2015, making it the youngest addition. Kalindi Biodiversity Park is home to the Yamuna floodplains, an extremely important area of conservation.
There is so much to learn when you visit these places, hope some of you actually take the time out to go and appreciate what Dr. Khudsar has done and may be meet him in person and tell him that you heard the podcast and came to see him :)Join our telegram listeners community here: https://t.me/movingforests
