List of Nature Parks in Ahmedabad

National park is a zone which is set aside by a national government for the preservation of the natural environment. A national park may be set aside for purposes of public refreshment and enjoyment or because of its ancient, antique or scientific interest. Most of the landscapes and the plants and animals accompanying it in a national park are kept in their natural state.^[1]

Ahmedabad is the 7th largest city in India and the biggest in the state of Gujarat. It is the base for trade and industrial development in India. People work from Monday to Friday and enjoy their weekends. Although there are not many places in Ahmedabad to relax but there are amazing resorts, picnic spots and wonderful nature parks nearby that are very famous. They are as follows:

1. Indroda Nature Park

Located in the outskirts of the city of Ahmedabad in a village known as Indroda, the Indroda Nature Park is just along the banks of river Sabarmati.^[2] It has been a recognized tourist spot. This park is spread over an area of about 468 hectares on both sides of Sabarmati River that is divided into two parts. The western part is known as Indroda Nature Park and the eastern part of the river Sabarmati is known as Wilderness Park.^[3]

In the proper sense of the word park, it consist of a variety of species of plants, animals, reptiles and birds. A bliss for nature lovers, it has become a significant place for the tourists who come from different parts of the country.^[2]

Sections of Indroda Nature Park for Tourist Visits

1. Zoo at Indroda Nature Park (INP Zoo)

The zoo at INP has animals like leopard, spotted deer, sambar, bluebull, blackbuck, chinkara, jackal, four-horned antelope, crocodile, porcupine, about 201 birds (42 species of birds is in the aviary). The Park has about 65 birds which build their nests every year in the wilderness of the park. In the snake park, there are number of venomous and non-venomous snakes.^[3]

2. Skeletons of Sea Mammals

The skeletons of two blue whales (an adult and a juvenile), one dolphin and a dugong have been displayed with detailed interpretation. The fossils of a large number of sea animals have also been exhibited.^[3]

3. Botanical Garden

The botanical garden at INP has an arboretum with 300 tree species of different agro-climatic zones of Gujarat, a green-house with a number of plants under controlled damp environments, a cactii house having 200 species of cactii and a medicinal plant garden with 250 medicinal plant species.

Development of botanical garden is going on at present and the herb, shrub and climber species that are found in Gujarat are collected and planted in the extended portion of the botanical garden.^[3]

Over the years, the flora and fauna have increased immensely, with Indroda Nature Park comprising of some rare and endangered species. The surging areas along with the low lying levels of the Sabarmati River give it a special scenic feeling. There are various facilities for research and interpretation of floral and fauna species and natural history museum. This part of the park serves as a center for blocking carbon emission and maintaining ecological balance in the environment of the forest and the nearby urban areas.^[2]

Conclusion

The national parks of different countries vary significantly in their effectiveness in protecting their resources. Some governments provide their park systems with huge budget which makes it possible to have strict enforcement of regulations; while others do not. Most national parks have a built-in paradox: although they often depend on tourism stimulated by public interest in nature for their existence, the conservation of their wildlife depends on its not being ill-treated. This paradox is generally resolved by allowing visitors to travel only within limited areas in the park. This lets them see the park while it minimizes their contact with the wildlife.^[1]
