Delhi Biodiversity Survey

Biodiversity surveys are being carried out to assess the species and associated landscape information in some selected areas of the capital. It is proposed to document natural features, biodiversity, habitats and delineate them on a base map of NCT Delhi. This is the part of a larger project “Documentation of Natural Heritage of NCT, Delhi and preparing Urban Biodiversity Plan”. The final objective will be to ensure that the natural heritage of Delhi is taken into consideration in the midterm planning review of NCT Delhi’s Masterplan thereby taking a substantial step in urban nature conservation, eco-system services and sustainability. The concept can then be replicated in several urban developments in India.
