Yamuna Biodiversity Park  Aerial View of YBP Emerging as the capital's most visited public place and prominent center for learning and understanding the environment, the Yamuna Biodiverstity Park has become a 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. It further, acts as a natural conservation site for specific group of endangered plants. The Yamuna Biodiversity Park is presently spread over an area of approximately 457 acres near Wazirabad village on the flat alluvial plains of the Yamuna and can be approached:  Entrance to YBP (i) from East Delhi through Bhajanpura, (ii) from South and Central Delhi through ISBT, and (iii) from North Delhi through Burari. The Biodiversity Park is 15 kms north-east of Connaught Place, and 4 kms north of ISBT.  The park features two major zones - the visitor zone and the nature reserve zone.  Domesticated Biodiversity Zone The front portion of the Yamuna Biodiversity Park, a 220m southward and 140m northward stretch from the main entry gate with 20-30m width is demarcated as Domesticated Biodiversity Zone. Enclosed by a hedge of poplar, it features plants like Ailanthus, Butea and Bauhinia that have a continuous seasonal interest due to their long flower production throughout the season. The outer iron fencing is embraced by multi-coloured climbers like Jasmine and Quisqualis with the same theme of continual luxury.  Resting Point Located at the main entrance, at the southward end, are three snack bars, a drinking water facilities and three resting places covered with the vines of Argyreia nervosa, Jasminum sambac and Petrogea volubilis. Just past the entry pocket and to the right is a “Welcome Rock facet” representing the origin of the Ganga and Yamuna and their convergence at Allahabad. A trail further leads to the Bambusetum, the Nature interpretation Centre, the Conservatory of fruit yielding species, the Migratory duck’s wetland and the Nature Reserve area.  A View of NIC Nature interpretation Centre is a beautiful classical building with elegant lighting, a red carpet floor, attractive interior designs, panels depicting various biodiversity levels, touch screens, and visual-aids that provide an insight into the basic concepts of biodiversity.

Yamuna biodiversity park, located on Yamuna river front is a 9770 hectares biodiversity area in Delhi, India. It is developed by Delhi Development Authority (DDA) with the technical help of Centre for Environmental Management of Degraded Ecosystems (CEMDE), University of Delhi. It serves as an ideal alternative habitat for migratory and resident bird species. It also is designed to conserve the wild genetic resources of agricultural crops and enhance groundwater recharge and augment freshwater availability. Delhi has 7554 hectares of fragmented forests which are deprived of wild animals due to unplanned urbanisation, and of the 400 wetlands, fewer than 3 or 4 were left. In 2015, Delhi already had Aravalli Biodiversity Park and Yamuna biodiversity park. Delhi Development Authority (DDA) engaged the scientist of Delhi University to develop four more biodiversity parks in Delhi, including the Northern ridge biodiversity park (Kamla Nehru Ridge), Tilpath Valley Biodiversity Park, Neela Hauz biodiversity park and phase-2 of the Yamuna Biodiversity Park. Phase-I of Yamuna biodiversity park focused on barren floodplains commenced in 2005 and phase-2 focused on the active floodplains commenced in 2015

Phase 2 of the Yamuna Biodiversity Park, in Wazirabad, spreads over 457 acres. Of this, 197 acres are open to visitors. While no entry fee is charged, you are not allowed to go around on your own – you must be accompanied by a staff member of the park. We did not know about this, so arrived at the park at 11:30 and were informed of this, but after a phone call, a staff member came and took us around on a nature walk of 45 minutes. This land was reclaimed and then planted with vegetation, so it’s a mix of various fruit trees, grasslands, acacia, and so on. There are several greenhouses; a kitchen garden to demonstrate agriculture; a fruit plantation zone (the fruit is mainly to attract birds), and an acacia woodland, besides various herb beds and other interesting trees and plants. There are wetlands, which host various water birds as well as migratory birds during the winter. We were told that the park has several mammals too, including neelgai, deer, and wild boar, but all we saw was one mongoose! Overall, a satisfying if hurried exploration of nature. I would have liked it to be longer and more leisurely.

Nice place for learning. Here tour guide instructed every information to you . They provide only limited area of access with. If you belongs to village and know everything about village such as plant, vegetables, animals, insect, grasses, fruit and many such others , than this place is not for you. But if you want to relate things with scientific language and revisite village's precious memory than go and take with you some knowledgeable person with you so that person can tell you about scientific and cultural information. If you are belongs to urban region than go and enjoy natural scenary of this biodiversity park. This park will give you slightly overview of food chain system, natural vegetables, naturally grown plants, some habitation knowledge about animals such as "neelgaay", and some very precious plant such as " kherni" and herbs. There is a museum type place where extracted things and analyzed information are there. You should visit there. Recommended- go and enjoy things with free . Without spending of money. Hopefully this review help you.
