How a team of dedicated biologists managed to recreate a lost paradise

Driving around the city’s streets the other day, I was doing what the average Delhite does – cribbing about the roads and the traffic. But something suddenly changed my line of thought. Looking out of the car window, I was taken aback by the lush greens that stretched along the road, the kind that I haven’t quite seen in Delhi, let alone other metros. It beckoned me. Slowing down, I noticed an entrance to this too-green-to-be-real place. Turning to enter this wonderland of endless greens, almost without realising, I could spot butterflies and sparrows and dragonflies and fruit-laden trees all around, for once taking me back to my days as a child.

So there I was at the Yamuna Biodiversity Park, "An artificially recreated wetland to introduce the natural flora and fauna sans the use of pesticides or any other form of medicinal treatment", said Faiyaz Khudsar, Wildlife Biologist, who has a team of researchers and scientists at the park. “This park has been established to reintroduce the native plant species of the Yamuna river basin which have been lost due to construction. The objective of the project is also to create a reservoir for ground water oxygen, and finally to create a functional wetland system, not just an area with stagnant water", added Mr Khudsar. This place, by the way, also has a recreated stream flowing through it, and which forms a small lake in one corner of the 457 acres of land the Park holds. The recreated stream has fish in abundance and birds such as the teals, coots and greater cormorants and lesser cormorants have made this place home.

With construction taking place to accommodate the rising number of people and consequently plummeting water tables, a place like this is just what this city needs to bring back species, both plant and animal, that have called Delhi home long before you and I did.
