• Harvesting, Hunting and poaching
• Sports hunting
• Commercial Hunting
• Pollution climate change
6. Why Biodiversity park?

threat .
• To counter global climate change.
• Sustainable physical and social
environment for improving quality of life.

8. Significance of Biodiversity park
• Bio reserve
• As a water replenish zone
• Temperature regulator
• Dust Trapper

9. Aim of Yamuna Biodiversity
park
• To protect and sustain the
Biodiversity.
• to protect the natural drainage of

• DDA acquired land in 2001-2002 and planned biodiversity
park in 2003
• The area is low lying used to get seasonally flooded and long
spell of standing water has turned soil more saline
• For developing park two pronged strategies were adopted
physical and biological interventions
11. Physical Intervention
• To deal with localized flooding
terrain was modified by creating
wasteland and marshes
• Mounds were created for
leaching soil of excess salt and
make niches for Biodiversity
12. Biological Intervention
• Biological inputs for improving
habitat quality.
• farms yard manure, vermi compost
leaf mould etc were provided
• Leguminous species and some other
characteristic grass were introduced
13. Importance of Yamuna Biodiversity
park
• Emerging as the capital’s most visited public
place.
• Prominent centre for learning and understanding
the environment .
• Home for biologically rich wetlands, grassland
communities.
• A wide variety of fruit yielding species and an
abundance of medicinal herbs.
• The park also comprises a native flora and fauna
which used to exist a 100 years ago and then
became extinct locally.
14. Important Features of the site

Yamuna basin.
• Structure and composition is done in such a way to give it a natural
view and environment.
• The soil for mounds were brought from a digging wasteland and
reservoirs.
• Different species of grass and shrubs were planted for soil better
holding and for increasing biomass.
• Different ecosystems such as deciduous forest, evergreen forest , sub-tropical
evergreen, moist tropical deciduous forest etc.

popular, it features plants like Ailanthus Butea and
Bauhinia .
• The outer iron fencing is embraced by multi coloured
climbers like Jasmine and Quisqualis .
• The conservatory of fruit yielding species .
• The migratory duck’s wetland .
• The Nature Reserve area.
• Nature Interpretation center.
16. Nature Reserve zone
• 20 different biotic communities are being
developed in 50 hectare.
• Massive plantation has been started.
• Some biotic communities have got
developed and biodiversity can be seen.
17. Wetlands
• Three wetlands are have been created, one is
narrow and 1.8km simulating river and the
other one is wide open and deep spreading
over 2 hectares.
• It was created to serve as a habitat of aquatic
life and serve the purpose of ecologically
water purification, groundwater recharge,
storage of rainwater and help in controlling
flood.
18. Other special areas are
• Nurseries
• Amphitheratre
• Poly houses
• Orchards
• Acacia grasslands
• 750m long drain from Jagatpur village
• Rose Garden
