bioculture park

The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) proposes to develop a “bio-cultural park” on 10 acres in bhubneshwar. It will be the first of its kind in the country.

·         flowers associated with all religions and traditions of the country would find a place in the park.

·         Cultural traditions such as tribal, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, Islamic, and Christian would be followed while choosing species.

·         Thje MoEF would develop the park and then hand over it over to the State government.

·         The idea was to draw strength from Indian culture for the cause of conservation of bio-resources. Traditionally, biological sources were being conserved in the form of sacred grooves, ‘nakshatravanams at Ranchi,' ‘navagraha vatika,' concept of panchvati and use of timber from ecologically important species for religious purposes.
