Haldwani Zoo-Safari

Haldwani Zoo-Safari, Gola Range. Nestled in the picturesque Gola Range of Uttarakhand, the Haldwani Zoo-Safari stands as a testament to India's commitment to wildlife conservation and sustainable practices. This ambitious project is not just another addition to the country's rich biodiversity parks but is set to be India's first carbon-neutral zoo[1].

The Haldwani Zoo-Safari is spread over a sprawling 412 hectares, promising an immersive experience in the wild. The zoo is meticulously planned to house a wide variety of animal, plant, and bird species, including leopards, elephants, reptiles, amphibians, and a diverse range of avian life. What sets this zoo apart is its division into 19 segments, each tailored to create natural habitats for different species, ensuring their well-being and the visitors' engagement[1].

One of the most striking features of the Haldwani Zoo-Safari is its commitment to being carbon neutral. This means that the zoo will have zero carbon emissions, a feat achieved by harnessing natural energy resources such as solar, wind, and water. The implementation of clean energy and waste management solutions, including a solar hybrid energy system, wind turbines, and bio-toilets, reflects the zoo's dedication to environmental stewardship[1].

The zoo's design also includes 'immersion exhibits,' where animals are not caged but rather placed in environments that closely mimic their natural habitats. This approach not only provides a more humane setting for the animals but also offers a more authentic experience for visitors. The inclusion of a botanical garden and biodiversity park further enhances the educational and recreational value of the zoo[1].

For those looking to explore the zoo, a monorail service will be available, providing a thrilling wildlife safari experience. Additionally, the 'Walking Aviary' allows visitors to stroll through the habitat of the housed birds, offering a unique opportunity to observe these creatures up close[1].

The Haldwani Zoo-Safari is a bold step towards promoting wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism. It is a beacon of hope for the future of zoological parks, where the welfare of the animals and the environment are given paramount importance. As the zoo nears completion, it is poised to become a significant attraction for wildlife enthusiasts and eco-conscious travelers alike[1].
