Srinagar, Apr 02: The Eco-Park initiatives undertaken by the Forest Department in north Kashmir are steadily transforming the region into a hub for eco-tourism. With a significant rise in local footfall, these eco-friendly parks are playing a crucial role in environmental conservation while boosting the local economy.
These Eco-Parks, strategically established to provide sustainable recreational spaces, have become a beacon of community engagement. They offer both locals and visitors an opportunity to connect with nature while actively contributing to conservation efforts. Families, students, and nature enthusiasts are increasingly visiting eco-friendly parks such as Rajpora, Kandi, Kailwan, and Bagh-e-Tehseen, particularly during festive occasions like Eid-ul-Fitr.
Highlighting the success of the initiative, Chief Conservator of Forests Kashmir, Irfan Rasool Wani, stated, “The Eco-Parks initiative is a part of the broader efforts to maintain Kashmir’s rich ecosystem while also promoting tourism that is mindful of environmental impact. As more locals embrace these Eco-Parks, it underscores a growing trend toward eco-conscious living and an increased understanding of the region’s natural heritage.”
Providing further details on the impact of these initiatives, Conservator of Forests North Kashmir, Irfan Ali Shah, emphasised, “The Eco-parks program has a dual impact—promoting both environmental sustainability and community well-being. In addition to fostering awareness about conservation, the Eco-parks have also contributed to the local economy through employment opportunities and the development of small businesses catering to visitors.”
In a bid to further environmental awareness, the Forest Department set up special conifer sapling distribution stalls on Eid, distributing approximately 37,000 saplings among stakeholders in north Kashmir. The success of these parks was further underscored by a cumulative footfall of 22,000 people on Eid day alone, reflecting the increasing recognition of the importance of preserving Kashmir’s unique biodiversity.
With eco-tourism gaining momentum in the region, the Forest Department continues to enhance these initiatives, ensuring a sustainable and eco-conscious future for Kashmir’s natural landscapes.
