Delhi’s largest protected forest is set to receive a major ecological upgrade. A new 10-year management plan for Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary outlines a wide range of measures to better protect wildlife, prevent forest fires, and regulate tourism in one of the capital’s most important green spaces.
Prepared by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), the management plan will guide conservation efforts from 2024-25 to 2034-35. The document has already been approved by the Delhi forest department and is now in effect.
