Bannerghatta Biological Park, located in Bengaluru, stands out as the first of its kind in South India and the largest in the country. Its hilly terrain and lush greenery have naturally attracted leopards over the years. Park officials frequently rescue leopard cubs from nearby farmlands, bolstering the park's leopard population. Presently, the BBP rescue center houses 14 leopards, highlighting the park's significant role in wildlife conservation.
Besides the safari, BBP authorities are urging visitors to engage in afforestation efforts by providing saplings at discounted rates. This initiative seeks to promote awareness of biodiversity, the significance of forests, and ecological balance. Karnataka Environment and Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre highlighted the educational value of this initiative.
