“Dhasmana said that in 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.

“The area is a large canvas to paint with plants, Dhasmana said.
It took several visits to Manggar Bani, Sariska and other forests to develop the area.
“We took over Commissioner 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 it Nurse plant nursery.
“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.
Solving the first step, he said, “We make a list of at least 200 species of native plant Rocky Northern Aravalis.
Then, we have to hold their seeds and take the full cost to replay the landscape.
When the seasoning season comes, we install a massive collection drive for seeds And vegetative cuttings.
“Then, citizens and children planted seeds on the rocky slopes, remember Dhasmana.
