Wildlife Institute of India Unveils 10-Year Management Plan for Asola Bhatti Sanctuary

A new 10-year management plan (2024-25 to 2034-35) for Delhi's Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, prepared by the Wildlife Institute of India and approved by the Delhi forest department, aims to enhance conservation through zoning, including a 9 sq km core zone for carnivores like leopards. The plan documents 23 mammal species, proposes visitor caps, and includes measures to prevent forest fires such as fire lines, rapid response units, and fire-retardant supplies to protect the sanctuary's semi-arid areas vulnerable to fires.
