In addition to this clean energy &, waste management solutions will also be implemented in the zoo, including the solar hybrid energy system, wind turbine, fully automated in vessel organic waste composter, solar thermal water heating system, solar street lightning, bio-toilets and much more. Even the construction materials will include wood and other ‘green’ components, various species of plants that absorb carbon such as bamboo and different varieties of grasses.
The Haldwani Zoo will have a sole identity unlike the prior decision made in which it was decided to make it a satellite of GB Pant High Altitude Zoo in Nainital. The zoo-cum-safari will have 19 segments, including a botanical garden and biodiversity park. The premises will be divided into different sections including separate ones for carnivores, herbivores, and birds. This ambitious project will be completed within 2-4 years and the animals will be ‘immersion exhibits’ which means they will not be caged.
Approved by the Central Zoo Authority, the Haldwani Zoo will house a wide variety of animal, plant and bird species including leopards, elephants, reptile, amphibians and birds species. The mammoth zoo will also feature a veterinary hospital, rescue center for the wild animals and a conservation breeding center as well. The zoo will also nurse the wildlife of lower altitude animals who often fail to survive in the high altitude zoo of Nainital. To offer a memorable experience to its visitors, there will be a monorail at the service of the visitors so they can enjoy a thrilling wildlife safari. The best part is that the tourists can also access the ‘Walking Aviary’, a lane created in the habitat of the housed birds for a soul refreshing experience.
