Summary
- A 70-acre biodiversity park is planned for Naurangpur, Haryana.
- The park will focus on native habitats, not conventional lawns.
- Development will span five years, emphasizing ecological restoration.
By 2031, Gurgaon will feature a new 70-acre biodiversity park in Naurangpur, Haryana. This expansive site will be developed over five years, focusing on ecological restoration and supporting native Aravali species. The project aims to create natural habitats, including grasslands and waterbodies, to foster biodiversity.
Unlike conventional urban parks, the Naurangpur site will prioritize native vegetation and wildlife habitats. This approach, mirroring the successful restoration of the Aravali Biodiversity Park, emphasizes long-term ecological health and conservation. The park is intended to serve as a living classroom, with nature trails and an interpretation center.
This initiative comes at a time of significant landscape changes in the region, marked by increasing built-up areas and declining natural spaces. The proposed park aims to counteract these trends by providing crucial habitat, aiding rainwater retention, and recharging groundwater resources.
