‘Biodiversity Park’ is created with the focus to nurture different biodiversity components which are mostly locally threatened / less abundant species. Besides, the park will also have some aesthetic value and conservation ethics. More ever, it would generate awareness on biodiversity and related environmental issues. The Biodiversity Park depends on the local climate and geological conditions.

The components included in the Biodiversity Park are mostly –

  • Medicinal Plant Garden.
  • Open air butterfly conservation area.
  • Water body conservation of indigenous aquatic species.
  • Indigenous Crop Conservation area.
