Good morning friends. Butterfly is not of the insect I love to see and sometimes catch. Because of it’s different color, for me it is very attractive specially when he rested on top of the flower. As per The Times of India, soon there will be an opening of butterfly park at Indroda. I’ll be waiting to that.Chasing colourful butterflies in the concrete jungle of Ahmedabad may seem far-fetched. But come November, and this dream will turn into reality in nearby Gandhinagar. Except, you won't be allowed to catch these flying fairies.
Are you wondering how? The Gujarat Ecological, Education and Research (GEER) Foundation is developing an open butterfly park on the banks of Sabarmati river at a site close to the Indroda park. A network of pathways will be built for visitors which will wind through beds of flowers and artificially created water bodies. The park will be protected from wild animals with high fencing.
This fencing would have gaps large enough to allow butterfly to fly in and out. But this park would be developed in such a way that the butterflies do not leave this park. This park will have flowering plants which attract butterflies and give them a habitat ideal for breeding. This would be the first of its kind open-to-sky park in the country. "In closed enclosures, the life span of butterflies is just 15 days.
However, in an open enclosure they live for 40 days. In closed parks, artificial breeding keeps the number of butterflies high," an official said. Spread in an area of five to six hectares, this park will be adjacent to Indroda which already has 43 different species of butterflies.
GEER director CN Pandey said that the park would not only attract butterflies from around the greenery of Indroda, but there are also plans to procure species from other areas and to introduce them here. The park will have indoor and outdoor interpretation centres as the idea is to combine education with entertainment.
