What is Biodiversity?• Biodiversity- An assemblage of
several hierarchical components, the variability among living organisms from all sources including inter alia, terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems. (defined during Convention on Biodiversity)
![Page 6: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Reasons for decline of biodiversity in Urbanized areas:-
• Habitat Loss• Direct human Impacts• Indirect Human Impacts• Species introduction• Harvesting, Hunting and poaching• Sports hunting• Commercial Hunting• Pollution and Climate Change
![Page 7: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Reasons for decline of biodiversity in Urbanized areas:-
![Page 8: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Biodiversity Park?• The loss of biological diversity is
at grave threat.• To counter global climate change.• Sustainable physical and social
environment for improving quality of life.
• Conservation and Development of the Natural features.
• To protect the ground water recharge zones and enhance its capacity.
![Page 9: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Significance of Biodiversity Park
• Bio reserve
• As a water replenish zone
• Temperature regulator
• Dust Trapper
• Regional park for the people
![Page 10: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aim of Yamuna Biodiversity Park
• To protect and sustain the biodiversity.
• To protect the natural drainage of river Yamuna in Delhi.
• To provide regional level open and green spaces.
• To protect the ground recharge zones like river Yamuna and Ridge

Origin and Salient features of the site
• This park is located close to river Yamuna,
Jharoda, Wazirabad
• Actually 1km away from the main stream of
Yamuna but still in its Basin
• It was a part of the flood plain during some 30-40
years back
• 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(pH=8.9)
• For developing park two pronged strategies were
adopted- physical and biological interventions
![Page 20: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
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
![Page 21: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Biological Intervention• Biological inputs for improving
habitat quality• Farm yard manure, vermi
compost leaf mould etc were provided
• Leguminous species and some other characteristic grass were introduced
![Page 22: Yamuna biodiversity park by sn sharma](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102508/546faa16af79592c718b465a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
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.

Location and Accessibility
(i) from East Delhi through Bhajanpura,(ii) from South and Central Delhi through ISBT, and(iii) from North Delhi through Burari and 4 kms north of ISBT.

Important Features of the site
• Ten mounds which illustrate different forest ecosystems found in the 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.
• Broad divisions are bambuselum, Nature Interpretation centre, conservatory of fruit yielding species, wetland for migratory birds and the nature reserve area.

are being developed in 50 hectare• Massive plantation has been
started• Some biotic communities have
got developed and biodiversity can be seen
