Dol Ka Badh, a 40-hectare urban forest in Jaipur
Dol Ka Badh, a 40-hectare urban forest in Jaipur, is facing a major threat. The state government plans to build a Fintech Park for IT professionals and chartered accountants on the land, which is home to over 2,421 trees, 54 shrub and herb varieties, and 64 bird species. The forest is an important ecological area, providing a habitat for a variety of plants and animals. It also helps to improve air quality and reduce noise pollution.
The Rajasthan government plans to build a Fintech Park on 38.389 hectares of land adjacent to the B2 Bypass in Jaipur.
The plan is to cut over 2400 trees in the forest to make way for the park.
The forest is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including 2421 trees, 54 varieties of shrubs and herbs, and 64 bird species.
The forest is also a popular spot for recreation and bird watching.
The proposed development has been met with strong opposition from environmentalists and social organizations in the city.
The protesters argue that the development will destroy a valuable ecosystem and harm the environment.
They have also pointed out that the government is planning to plant trees elsewhere in the city while uprooting an established forest for the Fintech Park.
