Know Details

An ambitious project to develop a 15-km long corridor is underway at Haryana's Gurugram

It would stretch from Bandhwari waste management plant to Damdama Lake

This is a strategic move to ensure sustainable conservation of Aravallis, probably the world’s oldest fold mountains

Collaborative efforts of the forest department, district, and local municipal administration as well as communities and residents would make it possible

It is a bid to reduce human-wildlife conflicts in this region that houses about 50 leopards

Safety measures include inspection paths, erection of watchtowers, camera traps, and placement of ‘dos and don’ts’ signage

A unique adventure plans to offer a gypsy safari experience akin to the Jhalana Leopard Safari Park

Beyond leopard conservation, the rich ecosystem of the Aravallis, with far-reaching benefits for Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan can be guaranteed

Grasslands and indigenous species of plants will be grown after removing bushes of Kabuli Kikar invasive species

The leopard park project will sustain the pray base, preserve rich wildlife of the Aravallis, and reduce human-leopard conflicts in urban landscape
