Kishan Bagh Sand Dune Park in Jaipur is a remarkable restoration project undertaken by the Jaipur Development Authority. Kishan Bagh aims to revive and rewild a sprawling set of dunes that
had been neglected at the southwestern foot of Nahargarh. The Kishan Bagh park brings back the natural beauty of the region by reintroducing the plants, trees, and microorganisms that are
characteristic of a true wilderness. It is a testament to the commitment to preserve and showcase the diverse ecosystem found in India's western desert.
The restoration process at Kishan Bagh involved a meticulous effort to recreate the indigenous shrubland known as 'Roee' in the local Marwari language. This unique shrubland was often misunderstood and
treated as a wasteland, but the park seeks to change that perception. By carefully reintroducing the flora and fauna that thrive in these dunes, Kishan Bagh breathes new life into a
previously degraded and overlooked ecosystem. With its inauguration in 2021, Kishan Bagh has become a popular destination for both residents and tourists, providing a captivating experience where
visitors can witness the beauty of nature and gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse ecosystems found in Jaipur. |
