Health 360 : How Biodiversity Parks Beat Smog Towers in Delhi's Air Pollution Battle | Sneha Mordani

In this special Health 360 report, environmental expert Dr. Faiyaz Khudsar takes viewers inside the Yamuna Biodiversity Park. He unveils rare ‘Ghost Trees’ and 25,000-year-old Paleolithic ‘cupules’, proving early human existence in the region. The report also features Vijay Dhasmana, Curator of the Aravalli Biodiversity Park, who warns that the Supreme Court’s new definition of the Aravallis could trigger desertification. Dr. Khudsar argues that native vegetation buffers provide health benefits worth ₹1.6 crore, far outperforming expensive smog towers in battling Delhi’s toxic air. He emphasizes that 'native species can perform all the functions' necessary to restore the ecosystem and mitigate the heat island effect.
