In this special report for India Today’s Health 360, Ecologist and Curator Vijay Dhasmana discusses the critical restoration of the Aravalli Biodiversity Park in Gurgaon. Once a barren mining site, the 350-acre park was revived through the efforts of citizens and the ‘I Am Gurgaon’ NGO. Dhasmana highlights the immense challenges faced during the initial phase, stating, ‘Journey was tough, initially very tough, because there was little buying in.’ He explains that the team had to create their own nursery to germinate native wild seeds that were unavailable elsewhere. The ecologist warns that the Aravallis are essential to prevent the desertification of the Delhi-NCR region and shield it from dust storms originating in Rajasthan. The report also touches upon the Supreme Court’s role in defining the Aravallis and the ongoing threat of mining.
