Biodiversity Conservation and Diversification by Creation of Urban Micro- Environment: A Case Study of Delhi

The natural landscape has been wiped out in most part of the earth except for those areas which is either very inaccessible to mankind or is of not much use to him as of now. Material goods have always enticed man over the ages and still do, but a new morn has unsettled mankind on the realization of resources being better for mankind in their natural state than when it is used indiscriminately for various purposes. But this realization has dawned when we have already polluted all spheres and its repercussions have taken a heavy toll too. An attempt has been made to recreate a natural landscape for living in an urban area (New Delhi) which is highly polluted being the capital city and vying with world class cities in providing immaculate infrastructure and amenities. Delhi has changed over the years in terms of weather and climate and its green belts and is now burdened with providing fresh air and water to its teeming inhabitants. This study encompasses the problems of living in small/high rises with terrace above and the heat and cold beating down with change of seasons. This study tries to understand environment and how man can create an urban microenvironment and contribute in biodiversity conservation and diversification and thereby improve the quality of life and provision of natural resources.
