Welcome to the Biodiversity Zone of Pakistan's First Sponge Park

At Organic Greener’s Sponge Park, the Biodiversity Zone represents a simple yet meaningful approach, creating space for nature within the city and allowing biodiversity to thrive.

BIODIVERSITY ZONE

What is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity means the variety of life living together around us  plants, trees, birds, animals, insects and microorganisms. It keeps nature balanced, supports pollination, improves soil and water health, and makes our environment healthier.

حیاتیاتی تنوع ماحول کے توازن کے لیے بہت اہم ہے۔ پودے، درخت، پرندے، جانور اور کیڑے ایک دوسرے پر انحصار کرتے ہیں۔ یہ مل کر صاف ہوا، صحت مند مٹی، بہتر پانی، پولینیشن اور قدرتی توازن برقرار رکھتے ہیں۔

WHY DO WE NEED TREES?

Help absorb rainwater: Tree roots create spaces in the soil that allow

rainwater to infiltrate into the ground, reducing surface runoff.

Improve soil: Roots help maintain soil structure, porosity and water holding capacity.

Reduce urban heat: Trees provide shade and cool their surroundings

through evapotranspiration, helping reduce the urban heat-island effect.

Improve air quality: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and can help filter

certain airborne pollutants and particulate matter.

Store carbon: As trees grow, they store carbon in their trunks, branches,

roots and surrounding soil.

Support biodiversity: Trees provide food, shelter and habitat for birds,

insects and other organisms.

Make cities more climate-resilient: Combining trees with rainwater

trenches, permeable surfaces and other nature-based features helps

cities manage rainfall while providing green public spaces.

 

 

چھوٹا شہری جنگل

چھوٹا شہری جنگل ایک محدود جگہ پر زیادہ درختوں اور پودوں سے بنایا گیا سبز علاقہ ہے۔ یہ پرندوں، تتلیوں اور کیڑوں کے لیے رہائش فراہم کرتا ہے، گرمی کم کرتا ہے، ہوا صاف کرتا ہے اور ماحول کو صحت مند بناتا ہے۔

 

 

 YOUR ROLE IN THE PARK

Environmental awareness becomes meaningful through action.

PROTECT TREES

Do not damage trunks, branches, leaves or roots. Give young trees time to grow.

RESPECT POLLINATORS

Observe butterflies and bees without catching or disturbing them.

RESPECT WATER

Keep recharge channels and water features free from litter and obstruction.

KEEP THE PARK CLEAN

Use waste bins and follow Reduce, Reuse and Recycle principles.

RESPECT WILDLIFE

Observe birds and insects without disturbing their habitat.

SHARE WHAT YOU LEARN

Tell your family and community what you learned.
