Gurugram: Aravali 392-acre biodiversity park in Gurugram, after the mining hole left, has been far over the past ten years.
Now is forest fillings that grow and home for at least 400 original plant species.
The curator of the Aravali Biodsity Park, Vijay Dhasmana, said that his journey encouraged the ecological recovery of the damaged or degraded forest zone.
After the region reached a conservation milest on Wednesday, he said, “This is a welcome step, recognition that the area needs to be protected for biodiversity.
The story that surrounds the world is about how the mining gap is restored, encouraging eco restoration.” Dhasmana said that in the year 2009, Atal Kapoor, an architect, identified the land.
“In 2010, the park was mostly barren and whatever vegetation we saw was a young ‘Vilayeti Keep’ (prosopis Juliflora) – the invasive alien species who had colonized the area.
At first in 2011, we identified the original plant rootstock and Give them protection and eliminate non-original species.
“The area is a large canvas to paint with plants, said Dhasmana.
It took several visits to Manggar Bani, Sariska and other forests to develop the area.
“We took the commissioner of MCG Sudhir Rajpal to see Manggar Bani, so he could see what we mean when we talked about the original wilderness,” said Dhasmana.
From 2012-20, NGO IIAmgurgaon was assigned to conservation work in the area, including establishing native plant nurseries.
“We were given eight years to apply several tasks,” Dhasmana, who with NGOs, said.
The Motocorp hero took over the work in 2021, and Dhasmana remained a curator.
Given the first step, he said, “We make a list of at least 200 original plant species of Aravalis Northern Rocky.
Then, we have to hold their seeds and take the full cost to replay the landscape.
When the fruit season comes, we put up a large collection drive for seeds and seeds.
Vegetative cuttings.
“Then, citizens and children planted seeds on the rocky slopes, remember Dhasmana.
More than 50 school children, 68 corporate volorat volorance and thousands of individuals planted 1,45,000 seeds in the area for the past ten years.
This area also requires monitoring and irrigation.
“We set up the irrigation network of drops in several regions, where irrigation by our gardeners is not so easy.
We irrigate areas with water from the DLF waste treatment plant and Le Meridien Hotel,” Dhasmana said.
After that, it’s about patience.
“Slow things in a dry and rocky place.
We know that we have to survive for several years before we can offer clear evidence that our approach to pay off.
At present, this area displays more than 400 plant species and has become a paradise for birds, Animals, and insects, “he added.
